CLINICAL OPERATING POINTS FOR NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC IMAGING MODALITIES LEAD TO LOW DETECTION OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Fuzzy Inference Model for the Detection of Coronary Artery Blockage in Non Invasive Imaging Modalities

Coronary artery plays a pivotal role in our cardio system. Any type of hindrance in that part could lead to fatal cardiac arrest. Many researchers have done work for the detection of the calcification in CA but none of them have taken the fuzzy inference aspect (one of the most important) which could result for its robustness. Cardiologists now want to have an automated system which could bette...

Cardiac Imaging Modalities in the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in advanced countries. Early detection and diagnosis of coronary artery disease plays an important role in the identification of disease severity and prediction of disease outcome, consequently improving patient management. Diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease is increasingly dependent on less-invasive imaging modalities, incl...

Cardiac imaging in coronary artery disease: differing modalities.

Correspondence to: Dr Jeroen J Bax, Department of Cardiology, Leiden University Medical Center, Albinusdreef 2, 2333 ZA Leiden, The Netherlands; [email protected] _________________________ C oronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Moreover, the disease is reaching endemic proportions and will put an enormous strain on health care econom...

Non-invasive anatomical and functional imaging for the detection of coronary artery disease.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. The gold standard for assessing significant coronary artery stenosis is invasive coronary angiography. Several disadvantages of the technique in combination with the fact that a substantial number of patients referred for conventional angiography appear free from significant stenosis have ...
