Cardiovascular Diseases | Other: ASCVD risk score |
In recent years, the analysis of big data database combined with computer deep learning has gradually played an important role in biomedical technology. For a large number of medical record data analysis, image analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism difference analysis, etc., all relevant research on the development and application of artificial intelligence can be observed extensively. For clinical indication, patients may receive a variety of cardiovascular routine examination and treatments, such as: cardiac ultrasound, multi-path ECG, cardiovascular and peripheral angiography, intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, electrical physiology, etc... The current study is for the investigative cardiovascular team to take the advantage that in addition to the examination and treatment the participants should appropriately receive, the investigators can also analyze the individual differences and using the "deep learning methodology" to analyze the difference in physical fitness, therapeutic effectiveness and the consideration in the safety of the treatment. The additional goal of this study is to improve the quality of health care, the realization of cardiovascular "precise medicine" especially with personal difference on genetic variation.
This study will analyze the differences in the individualization of cardiovascular disease between diseases and other subjects to further improve the quality of care for clinical patients. By using artificial intelligence deep learning system, the investigators hope to not only improve the diagnostic rate and also gain more accurately predict the patient's recovery, improve medical quality in the near future.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Pipeline for case enrollment:
- We will enroll investigating subjects from the clinics of near 10 physicians screened by our assistant or physicians themselves, with nearly 100-120 cases/month. According to our initial experience during our previous hospital-based grant in 2018 showed feasible case number to be enrolled, nearly 1000 case within 3 months enrollment. In total, we plan to recruit 5000 subjects with cardiovascular disease or with risk factors within 3 years. (IRB approval A-ER-107-149)
- Our study subjects will be evaluated whether they fulfill the cases criteria by an independent physician every month.
- In comparison with disease, the risk factor only group (500 cases) will be the matching group on genetic background and outcome comparison.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients' selection criteria and enrollment plan:
We will enroll subjects from either cardiovascular clinics or inpatients from the National Cheng Kung University Hospital from 2018 to 2021 after the signature of inform consent from patients and their families. The major enrollment criteria include one of the flowing diseases or conditions:
A. Coronary artery disease:
- History of myocardial infarction
- Coronary artery disease with computer tomography angiography image study with at least one vessel luminal stenosis >70%
- Coronary artery stents implantation by hospital-based image database
-
Thallium-201 scan positive/treadmill test positive with additional 2 risk factors, including
- Diabetes mellitus
- Hypertension
- Dyslipidemia
- Family history of sudden death, coronary bypass surgery, cerebral vascular attacks (CVA), premature myocardial infarction
- Smoking behaviors
B. Congestive heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
1. Echocardiography left ventricular ejection fraction <40%
C. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy:
- Left ventricle interventricular septum(IVS) >15 mm
- Left ventricle mass index> 200gm
- Apical hypertrophy noted on the report with 4 chamber view
D. Atrial fibrillation
- Recorded by Holter continuous EKG
- Recorded by standard 12 leads complete EKG
E. Pulmonary hypertension
- Echo with systolic pulmonary pressure (sysPAP)> 40 mmHg
- Diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension
- Under pulmonary hypertension medication
F. Fabry's disease
- α-Galactosidase (a-GAL) enzyme deficiency
- Genetic disorder
G. Patient with only risk factors (<3 risk factors), recognized as the comparison group (>500 cases)
- Diabetes mellitus
- Hypertension
- Dyslipidemia
- Family history of sudden death, coronary bypass surgery, cerebral vascular attacks, premature myocardial infarction
- Smoking behavior
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients unwilling to be enrolled
- Concentration of DNA collection was inadequate after 3 times of collection
