PlaqueCap: lesion-centered captioning of atherosclerotic plaques in intravascular ultrasound using vision-language models and prompt injection

Accurate characterization of atherosclerotic plaques in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging is essential for evaluating coronary artery disease and guiding clinical interventions. Traditional methods rely on handcrafted features and rule-based algorithms, which lack adaptability to…

Relationship Between Activity Tracker Metrics and the Physical Activity Index and Their Association With Cardiometabolic Phenotypes, Subclinical Atherosclerosis, and Cardiac Remodeling: Cross-Sectional Study

Relationship Between Activity Tracker Metrics and the Physical Activity Index and Their Association With Cardiometabolic Phenotypes, Subclinical Atherosclerosis, and Cardiac Remodeling: Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Consumer wearable technology quantifies physical activity; however, the association between these metrics and cardiometabolic health requires further elucidation. Objective: This study identified latent factors derived from Fitbit heart rate metrics and their relationship…
