High-resolution computed tomography (CT)...

This study aimed to investigate the ability of an ultrasound-based risk stratification model integrating carotid intima thickness (CIT) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) to aid in risk stratification and assessment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in patients with type...

Noninvasive evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) by coronary-computed tomography angiography (CCTA) was progressively applied. One indicator of coronary atherosclerosis is the calcium score. However, little research has been done about how severe stenosis is related to it. Objective: The main...
