Development and validation of a machine learning model to predict myocardial blood flow and clinical outcomes from patients’ electrocardiograms
Development and validation of a machine learning model to predict myocardial blood flow and clinical outcomes from patients’ electrocardiograms Scientists have developed a machine learning (ML) model using electrocardiography (ECG) to predict myocardial blood flow reserve (MFR) and assess its predictive value in relation to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Using 3639 ECG positron emission tomography (PET) and 17,649 pairs of ECG single-photon emission computed tomography data (SPECT), the model is trained using the intelligent swarm intelligence approach and support vector regression (SVR).

Mediterranean Diet With Olive Oil Boosted HDL Function?
Mediterranean Diet With Olive Oil Boosted HDL Function? More research suggests that a Mediterranean-style diet supplemented with either virgin olive oil or mixed nuts enhances the function of HDL cholesterol[1]. In a subset of 296 patients at high risk of heart disease in thePREDIMED study, cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), the first step in reverse cholesterol transport, was significantly increased at 1 year compared with baseline in those advised to eat a Mediterranean diet rich in virgin olive oil (VOO) (P=0.018) or mixed nuts (P=0.013) rather than a reduced-fat diet.
