  1. 1. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Using Demographic and Clinical Data to Diagnose Heart Disease.

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Javier Fernandez Sanchez; [2018]
    Keywords : machine learning; data science; artificial intelligence; data mining; cardiovascular disease; CVD; exploratory analysis; EDA; clinical data; support vector machines; preprocessing; decision trees; logistic regression; KNN; adaboost; xgboost; random forest; health; healthcare;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity, mortality, premature death and reduced quality of life for the citizens of the EU. It has been reported that CVD represents a major economic load on health care sys- tems in terms of hospitalizations, rehabilitation services, physician visits and medication. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling of the mechanobiological adaptation to vascular occlusion in the arterial tree

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Jaime Rodríguez María; [2016]
    Keywords : Vascular occlusion; modelling; arteries; arterial tree; growth and remodelling; Murray; cerebrocardiovascular diseases; adaptation; thrombosis; calcification; anemia; polycythemia; isquemia; edema; Oclusión vascular; modelado; arterias; árbol arterial; crecimiento y remodelado; Murray; enfermedades cerebrocardiovasculares; adaptación; trombosis; calcificación; anemia; policitemia; isquemia; edema;

    Abstract : It is known that there are many cardiovascular diseases caused by the alterations in the blood vessels, that affect most of the world population. The knowledge of the mechanobiological behavior of blood vessels is used for understanding how cardiovascular diseases could affect the human body. READ MORE

  4. 3. Segmentation of the cardiovascular tree in 4D from PC-MRI images

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Peter Öberg; [2013]
    Keywords : Fourflow; Segment flow; PC-MRI; visualization; 4D; flow; Cardiovascular tree; noise reduction; Mathematics and Statistics; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Investigating the dynamics of blood flow is essential to understanding the cardiovascular system and its pathologies. Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PC-MRI) enables acquisition of 4-dimensional time resolved velocity experiments. Slice-by-slice analysis of the data is time consuming and cumbersome.

  5. 4. Pressure Estimation in the Systemic Arteries Using a Transfer Function

    University essay from Mekanik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Carl-Johan Thore; [2007]
    Keywords : Pressure Estimation; Pulse Pressure; Wave Propagation; Cardiovascular System; Arteries;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to develop and study a method for estimation of the pulse pressure in centrally located arteries. Obtaining the central pulse pressure is desirable for several reasons. For example, the central pulse pressure can be used to assess aortic stiffness, which in turn is an important predictor of cardiovascular mortality. READ MORE
