Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes of death in the European Union and the USA. The crucial biomarker in its diagnosis is called Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and its in-vivo measurement is obtained via an…
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the most common forms of heart disease, which is caused by a buildup of atherosclerotic plaque (known as stenosis) in the coronary arteries, leading to insufficient supplement of blood, oxygen, and…
In patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, the functional significance of a coronary artery stenosis needs to be determined to guide treatment. This is typically established through fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement,…
In patients with coronary artery stenoses of intermediate severity, the functional significance needs to be determined. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement, performed during invasive coronary angiography (ICA), is most often used in…
Analysing coronary artery plaque segments with respect to their functional significance and therefore their influence to patient management in a non-invasive setup is an important subject of current research. In this work we compare and…
Assessing coronary artery plaque segments in coronary CT angiography scans is an important task to improve patient management and clinical outcomes, as it can help to decide whether invasive investigation and treatment are necessary. In…
Treatment of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease is guided by the functional significance of a coronary artery stenosis. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), measured during invasive coronary angiography (ICA), is considered the…
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has established its role as a non-invasive modality for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The CAD-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) has been developed to standardize communication and aid in…
Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a top reason of mortality worldwide. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating patient-specific Multi-slice CT scans into CAD models and employing a one-dimensional numerical framework to…
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based simulation of coronary blood flow provides valuable hemodynamic markers, such as pressure gradients, for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). However, CFD is computationally expensive,…
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…
Purpose of Review Imaging derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) is rapidly evolving beyond conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based pipelines toward machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and physics informed approaches…
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Precise segmentation of coronary arteries from invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is critical for effective clinical decision-making.…
Local hemodynamic forces play an important role in determining the functional significance of coronary arterial stenosis and understanding the mechanism of coronary disease progression. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been widely…
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the dominant cause of death and hospitalization across the globe. Atherosclerosis, an inflammatory condition that gradually narrows arteries and has potentially fatal effects, is the most frequent cause of…
The standard non-invasive imaging technique used to assess the severity and extent of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). However, manual grading of each patient's CCTA according to the…
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). FFRCT uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate FFR non-invasively by simulating coronary flow in geometries reconstructed from…
