Abstract Background As previously reported, impairment of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is associated with myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmias, and heart failure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. Hypothesis This study aimed to estimate the association between LVGLS measured by echocardiography and major adverse ...

CardioXNet: A Novel Lightweight Deep Learning Framework for Cardiovascular Disease Classification Using Heart Sound Recordings [PDF]
The alarmingly high mortality rate and increasing global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases signify the crucial need for early detection schemes. Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals have been historically applied in this domain owing to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness.

Myocardial Scar and Mortality in Severe Aortic Stenosis
Background: Aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis is timed primarily on the development of symptoms, but late surgery can result in irreversible myocardial dysfunction and additional risk.

Arrhythmic risk in elderly patients candidates to transcatheter aortic valve replacement. predicative role of repolarization temporal dispersion [PDF]
Degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) is associated to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, as well as mental stress in specific patients. In such a context, substrate, autonomic imbalance as well as repolarization dispersion abnormalities ...
