Cutting-Edge Diagnostic Technologies in Cardiovascular Diseases: Towards Data-Driven Smart Healthcare
About this ebook
Cutting-Edge Diagnostic Technologies in Cardiovascular Diseases: Towards Data-Driven Smart Healthcare provides details on the adoption and implementation of advanced diagnostic techniques in different clinical settings, including population screening, clinical diagnosis, risk prediction, data-driven diagnosis, and remote healthcare monitoring. It also covers various cardiovascular diseases, from the macrovascular to microvascular levels, where early and accurate diagnosis is a high clinical need, for example, stroke, intracranial atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and microvascular dysfunction. The book is a practical guide with case studies, and the authors cover a wide range of cutting-edge diagnostic techniques, including artificial intelligence, radiological imaging, wearable sensors, genetic biomarkers, and multi-omics data integration. It summarizes the potentials, challenges, and ethical concerns in the implementation of these techniques under current clinical settings. It also discusses the future directions and perspectives for next-generation diagnostics based on AI-enhanced multimodal data fusion.
This book targets a mixed audience of data scientists, engineers, clinicians, researchers, academics, and students interested in cutting-edge technologies, methodologies, and practices in the diagnostics of cardiovascular diseases to resolve the challenging gaps in healthcare and clinical applications.

Gary Tse completed his pre-clinical training at Trinity Hall, Cambridge (2008), and was subsequently awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Cardiac Electrophysiology (2015) and a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree in Cardiovascular Epidemiology (2022) from the University of Cambridge. He was elected a fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (2016), American College of Cardiology (2017), Heart Rhythm Society (2018), Royal College of Physicians of London (2019), Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (2019), and Royal College of Pathologists
(2022). Currently, he leads a team of researchers from China (Tianjin, Hong Kong) and the UK (Kent, Surrey, and London) focusing on the use of big data for cardiovascular risk prediction. He serves on the Council of the International Society of Electrocardiology, for which he is currently the Secretary. He is a Board of Trustees member of the International Society for Noninvasive Electrocardiology and a Nucleus Committee member of the Population Health Section, European Association of Preventive Cardiology.
