Assessing the Impact of Blood Pressure on Cardiac Function Using Interpretable Biomarkers and Variational Autoencoders [PDF]
Maintaining good cardiac function for as long as possible is a major concern for healthcare systems worldwide and there is much interest in learning more about the impact of different risk factors on cardiac health. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of systolic blood pressure (SBP) on cardiac function while preserving the interpretability ...

A thousand words about the imaging in cardiac amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is an infiltrative disease which usually occurs under the form of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Advances in the treatment have changed the unfavorable outcomes of this disease. Thus, early diagnosis is essential.

A Computer Vision Pipeline for Automated Determination of Cardiac Structure and Function and Detection of Disease by Two-Dimensional Echocardiography [PDF]
Automated cardiac image interpretation has the potential to transform clinical practice in multiple ways including enabling low-cost serial assessment of cardiac function in the primary care and rural setting. We hypothesized that advances in computer vision could enable building a fully automated, scalable analysis pipeline for echocardiogram (echo ...

Multi-Imaging Characterization of Cardiac Phenotype in Different Types of Amyloidosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bone scintigraphy is extremely valuable when assessing patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA), but the clinical significance and associated phenotype of different degrees of cardiac uptake across different types is yet to be defined.

Delays in diagnosis and treatment of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis: A real‐world data analysis
Abstract Aims and Background Cardiac amyloidosis leads to functional cardiac impairment and heart failure. Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is the most common form. After initial suspicion, diagnosis involves imaging techniques, biopsy and genetic tests, prompting transthyretin stabilizer therapy to slow disease progression.

Cardiac Structural and Functional Consequences of Amyloid Deposition by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Echocardiography and Their Prognostic Roles [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: This cross-sectional study aimed to describe the functional and structural cardiac abnormalities that occur across a spectrum of cardiac amyloidosis burden and to identify the strongest cardiac functional and structural prognostic predictors ...

Sudden death in lambda light chain AL cardiac amyloidosis: a review of literature and update for clinicians and pathologists [PDF]
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common type of systemic amyloidosis, affecting around 10 people per million per year. In Europe, approximately 5000 new diagnosis per year are reported.
