The deposits of fat on the surroundings of the heart are correlated to several health risk factors such as atherosclerosis, carotid stiffness, coronary artery calcification, atrial fibrillation and many others. These deposits vary unrelated…
Malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VT/VF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are a major cause of in-hospital death, yet early identification remains a clinical challenge. While traditional risk scores have limited performance,…
Background: External validations are essential to assess clinical prediction models (CPMs) before deployment. Apart from model misspecification, differences in patient population and other factors influence a model's AUC (c-statistic). We…
Accurate prediction of cardiovascular diseases remains imperative for early diagnosis and intervention, necessitating robust and precise predictive models. Recently, there has been a growing interest in multi-modal learning for uncovering…
A precise assessment of the risk of breast lesions can greatly lower it and assist physicians in choosing the best course of action. To categorise breast lesions, the majority of current computer-aided systems only use characteristics from…
Rare cardiac anomalies are difficult to detect from electrocardiograms (ECGs) due to their long-tailed distribution with extremely limited case counts and demographic disparities in diagnostic performance. These limitations contribute to…
Prediction of the blood flow characteristics is of utmost importance for understanding the behavior of the blood arterial network, especially in the presence of vascular diseases such as stenosis. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has…
