Award for research on the relationship between pericoronary adipose tissue, inflammation, and subclinical coronary artery disease in people with HIV in Uganda using advanced imaging and machine learning.
Description
This project aims to leverage data from NIH-supported cohorts in Uganda to study the relationship between pericoronary adipose tissue, inflammation, and subclinical coronary artery disease in people with HIV. The project involves advanced imaging techniques, radiomics, and machine learning to improve cardiovascular risk prediction and stratification, with potential implications for both regional and global health strategies.
