AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to compare coronary angiography characteristics in male and female patients with acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for image analysis.
  • The CNN algorithm provided high accuracy and sensitivity for vessel segmentation in angiographic images, achieving results of 90.32% accuracy and 93.39% sensitivity.
  • Findings revealed that female NSTEMI patients had higher rates of diabetes and lower occurrences of specific coronary artery involvement compared to male patients, indicating significant gender differences in NSTEMI characteristics.

Article Abstract

Objective: This study was aimed at comparing the characteristics of coronary angiography based on intelligent algorithm in patients with acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) of different genders.

Methods: Eighty patients were selected to segment the coronary angiogram using the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, the input layer of the CNN was used to receive the image dataset, and three-dimensional data were input during semantic segmentation to achieve automatic segmentation of the target features. Segmentation results were quantitatively assessed by accuracy (Acc), sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), and Dice coefficient (Dice). The characteristics of coronary angiography were compared between the two groups.

Results: The CNN algorithm had good segmentation effect, complete vessel extraction, and little noise, and Acc, Se, Sp, and Dice were 90.32%, 93.39%, 91.25%, and 89.75%, respectively. The proportion of diabetes mellitus was higher in female patients with NSTEMI (68.8%) than that in male patients (46.3%); the proportion of the left main coronary artery (LM) and left anterior descending artery (LAD) was lower in the female group (7.5%, 41.3%) than that in the male group (13.8%, 81.3%), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: The CNN algorithm achieves accurate extraction of vessels from coronary angiographic images, and women with diabetes and hyperlipidemia are more likely to have NSTEMI than men, especially the elderly.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating advancements in diagnostic techniques. Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a pivotal non-invasive tool for evaluating coronary artery anatomy and detecting atherosclerotic plaque burden with high spatial resolution. This review explores the evolution of CCTA, highlighting its technological advancements, clinical applications, and challenges.

Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used to screen for coronary artery calcification. As the coronary artery has complicated structure and tiny lumen, manual screening is a time-consuming task. Recently, many deep learning methods have been proposed for the segmentation (SEG) of coronary artery and calcification, however, they often neglect leveraging related anatomical prior knowledge, resulting in low accuracy and instability.

Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; in Israel, ischemic heart disease is the second leading cause of death for both genders aged 45 and above. Atherosclerosis involves stiffening of the arteries due to the accumulation of lipids and oxidized lipids on the blood vessel walls, triggering the development of artery plaque. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common manifestation of atherosclerosis.

Background: Coronary artery dominance is determined by the coronary artery emitting the posterior descending artery. In the left dominant system, a greater proportion of coronary flow enters the left coronary artery, potentially influencing calcified plaque development in the left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Methods: This retrospective single-center cohort study analyzed patients who underwent computed tomography angiography from September 2006 to December 2022 at Harbor-UCLA in Los Angeles, California.

Background: Geographic stent-ostium mismatch is an important predictor of target lesion failure after percutaneous coronary intervention of an aorto-ostial right coronary artery lesion. Optimal visualization of the aorto-ostial plane is crucial for precise stent implantation at the level of the ostium. This study investigates whether preprocedural 3-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT), with determination of the optimal viewing angle, would allow for more precise stent implantation and reduce procedure time, contrast, and radiation dose.
