Deep-stratification of the cardiovascular risk by ultrasound carotid artery images

Cardiovascular risk estimation functions predict the risk of cardiovascular events with clinical data and survivalmodels. These functions accurately stratify individuals into low, moderate, and high-risk categories. However,they tend to classify a considerable number of individuals into the middle-r...
