A Bootstrap Machine Learning Approach to Identify Rare Disease Patients from Electronic Health Records [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Rare diseases are very difficult to identify among large number of other possible diagnoses. Better availability of patient data and improvement in machine learning algorithms empower us to tackle this problem computationally. In this paper, we target one such rare disease - cardiac amyloidosis.

Cardiac amyloidosis in non-transplant cardiac surgery [PDF]
, 2021 Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare infiltrative cardiomyopathy that portends a poor prognosis. There is a growing recognition of co-existent aortic valve stenosis and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, with some studies suggesting that dual pathology may be ...

Deep Spatio-temporal Sparse Decomposition for Trend Prediction and Anomaly Detection in Cardiac Electrical Conduction [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Electrical conduction among cardiac tissue is commonly modeled with partial differential equations, i.e., reaction-diffusion equation, where the reaction term describes cellular stimulation and diffusion term describes electrical propagation. Detecting and identifying of cardiac cells that produce abnormal electrical impulses in such nonlinear dynamic ...

Misdiagnosis of hereditary amyloidosis as AL (Primary) amyloidosis [PDF]
, 2002 Background: Hereditary, autosomal dominant amyloidosis, caused by mutations in the genes encoding transthyretin, fibrinogen A -chain, lysozyme, or apolipoprotein A-I, is thought to be extremely rare and is not routinely included in the differential ...

Unique type of isolated cardiac valvular amyloidosis [PDF]
, 2006 BACKGROUND: Amyloid deposition in heart is a common occurrence in systemic amyloidosis. But localised valvular amyloid deposits are very uncommon. It was only in 1922 that the cases of valvular amyloidosis were reported.

Technetium-99m pyrophosphate cardiac SPECT in endomyocardial biopsy negative cardiac amyloidosis
Radiology Case Reports, 2018 Cardiac amyloidosis is an under-appreciated cause of heart failure. Establishing a diagnosis is important because traditional heart failure treatment regimens can worsen left ventricular failure in this disease. Endomyocardial biopsy is the gold standard

Prospects for AI-Enhanced ECG as a Unified Screening Tool for Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Conditions -- An Explorative Study in Emergency Care [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Current deep learning algorithms designed for automatic ECG analysis have exhibited notable accuracy. However, akin to traditional electrocardiography, they tend to be narrowly focused and typically address a singular diagnostic condition. In this exploratory study, we specifically investigate the capability of a single model to predict a diverse range

A thousand words about the imaging in cardiac amyloidosis
Journal of Medical Science, 2019 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]
arXiv, 2017 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 ...

Assessing the Impact of Blood Pressure on Cardiac Function Using Interpretable Biomarkers and Variational Autoencoders [PDF]
, 2019 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 ...
