Early Detection and Segmentation of Coronary Artery Blockage using Advanced Imaging Modalities for Predicting Risk Factors of Heart Attack

چکیده
Myocardial infarction, commonly known as heart attack, is a leading cause of human death world wide. Hence, it requires early detection of the disease non-invasively through real CT angiogram images. In this paper, median filter has been applied on input images for noise removal followed by global thresholding with frangi vesselness filter using dilation morphology for segmentation of coronary arteries. C ardiac stenosis, considered as ROI, has been detected by using canny edge gradient operator with threshold values 75 to 90. The proposed mathematical model explains rate of change in blood flow using fluid dynamic concept by Hagen Poiseuille law and vascular wall shear stress method for quantification of healthy and diseased coronary arteries. After that we have classified the levels of heart attack as intial, mild and severe using ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System) tool with membership function. Computer simulation results assist in predicting the risk factors of heart attack at an early stage.

Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease via a Novel Fuzzy Expert System Optimized by Cuckoo Search
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 ...
متن کاملAutomated Segmentation of Cardiac Stenosis and Mathematical Modeling of Myocardial Blood Flow for Early Detection of Heart Attack Using Advanced Imaging Techniques
Heart attack is a leading cause of human deaths worldwide which occurs due to occlusion of coronary arteries and reduced blood flow. Hence, it requires early detection of disease in a non-invasive way through Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiogram images (CCTA). Local thresholding with Hessian matrix based Frangi’s Vesselness filter has been applied for segmentation of coronary arterial branches...

Cardiovascular disease (CAD) screening in asymptomatic patients with diabetes mellitus is controversial. An exercise stress test is a safe and effective initial testing for Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) screening. Treadmill stress test is not the best screening method for a particular patient who is not able to exercise, abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) or positive exercise treadmill test (ETT) ...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) often presents suddenly with little warning. Traditional risk factors are inadequate to identify the asymptomatic high-risk individuals. Early identification of patients with subclinical coronary artery disease using noninvasive imaging modalities would allow the early adoption of aggressive preventative interventions. Currently, it is impractical to screen the enti...
