In this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy expert system for detection of Coronary Artery Disease, using cuckoo search algorithm. This system includes three phases: firstly, at the stage of fuzzy system design, a decision tree is used to extract if-then rules which provide the crisp rules required for Coronary Artery Disease detection. Secondly, the fuzzy system is formed by setting the intervals ...

Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial problem. Although hyperlipidemia (HLP), diabetes (DM), and hypertension (HTN) are known as the familial and cardiac risk factors, CABG is rare in the several members of a family. We reported the six members of a family who presented with MI and/or advanced angina pectoris during the 6 years. CABG(Coronary artery bypass graft) considere...

conclusions in most cases, the conus artery can be visualized in cardiac ct. a description of the conus artery should be a part of the standard clinical coronary ct angiography description. objectives to examine whether it is possible to visualize the conus artery in multi-slice computed tomography (ct). patients and methods in 79 consecutive patients (aged 56 ± 12.9 years; 13 women), 64-slice ...

conclusions in the chinese han population that we studied, nafld patients who carry the tnf-α-238 ga polymorphism have an increased risk of developing cad. mechanisms underlying this potentially important association require further investigation. background cardiovascular events account for the main cause of death in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), and are largely infl...

abstract introduction: non-invasive measurement of carotid intima media thickness (imt) has been noted as a marker for atherosclerosis and can serve as a predictor of cardiovascular accidents. the present study investigates the relationship between carotid imt and coronary artery disease (cad). method: this is a descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study of 300 individuals referring to isfah...

objective(s):  coronary artery disease (cad) which may lead to myocardial infarction (mi) is a complex one. great effort has been devoted to identification of genes that increase susceptibility to cad or provide protection. a 21-bp deletion in the mef2a gene, which encodes a member of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 family of transcription factors, has been reported in patients of a single pedigr...

background: coronary artery disease (cad) is a multifactorial and heterogenic disease. recently, genome-wide association studies have reported that rs1333040 (c/t) and rs1004638 (a/t) single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in the 9p21 locus have very strong association with cad. this study aimed to examine these associations in southwest of iran. methods: blood samples were collected from 200 c...
