Coronary CTA-based vascular radiomics predicts atherosclerosis development proximal to LAD myocardial bridging

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc ImagingPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

The CCTA-based pMB CS vascular radiomics model can predict plaque development in LAD MB.

Study context

Participants
295 patients
Comparison
pMB CS vascular radiomics model vs clinical and anatomical model
Outcome
