Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of interventional cardiology, leading to improved patient outcomes and a more personalized approach to care. AI algorithms are being used to analyze medical images, guide robotic procedures, and make informed treatment decisions. This has the potential to revolutionize the way we care for patients with heart disease. In […]
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, a disorder of progressively worsening memory and other thinking abilities. ABCA7 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cellular lipid transport, particularly the transport of lipids like cholesterol.
