Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular disease is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates advanced technologies to improve patient care. The current AI landscape faces significant challenges, including the complexity of diagnosing and treating these conditions. Recent studies have shown promising results in the use of AI for early detection, diagnosis, ...read more

In coronary artery disease (CAD), the initiation, progression, and regression of atherosclerosis remain insufficiently characterized, limiting the precision of current diagnostic strategies and personalized management. Because molecular and noninvasive imaging studies have yet to establish a definitive mechanism for atherosclerosis, our team has taken a different approach—interpreting the disease through ...read more

The body responds to various cardiac injuries via complex acute and chronic adaptive processes to maintain pump function. Central to this process is inflammation and immune response. Short-lived inflammation promotes cardiac repair and remodeling post-injury. However, exaggerated inflammation may lead to adverse remodeling following an injury. Therefore, a balance in ...read more
