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.
