First abstract presented at the ESC Digital & AI Summit

Maryam Aryafar presented the programme's first abstract, "AI-driven coronary stenosis detection versus IVUS reference standard", at the European Society of Cardiology's Digital & AI Summit in Berlin on 21–22 November 2025 — the ESC's first summit dedicated to digital health and artificial intelligence, with 179 abstracts on the programme.

The abstract describes a deep-learning framework that segments the coronary tree on an angiogram, extracts the centreline, computes the diameter along it and quantifies stenosis, benchmarked against intravascular ultrasound. It was published in European Heart Journal – Digital Health in January 2026.
