Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this facial image-based AI algorithm for screening CAD in high-risk community populations (specifically individuals with diabetes, hypertension, or aged over 65). The main objectives are:

1. To verify if the AI algorithm can accurately distinguish between high-risk and low-risk groups by comparing the actual prevalence of CAD in these groups.
2. To compare the CAD detection rate using this AI screening strategy against the natural detection rate in a real-world cohort.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age \>= 18 years.
• Community high-risk population, defined as individuals meeting at least one of the following criteria:
  1. Diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus;
  2. Diagnosed with Hypertension;
  3. Advanced age (\> 65 years old).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior confirmed diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease (CAD), including clinically diagnosed CAD, history of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), or history of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
• History of diagnosed Heart Failure.
• Significant facial alterations or conditions that may interfere with AI image analysis, such as plastic surgery, severe facial trauma, or heavy makeup.
• Refusal to participate in the study.
