Predicting post-operative right ventricular failure using video-based deep learning [PDF]
Non-invasive and cost effective in nature, the echocardiogram allows for a comprehensive assessment of the cardiac musculature and valves. Despite progressive improvements over the decades, the rich temporally resolved data in echocardiography videos remain underutilized. Human reads of echocardiograms reduce the complex patterns of cardiac wall motion,

Cardiac Failure and Benzodiazepines [PDF]
Nine patients with stable cardiac failure and mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% were investigated. All had previously been prescribed a benzodiazepine hypnotic by their home physicians, but the medication had been discontinued for at least 1 month.

Hypocalcaemic cardiac failure [PDF]
SummaryA 35-year-old patient who presented with recurrent chest infection, pulmonary oedema and cardiac failure was found to be grossly hypocalcaemic owing to previously undiagnosed hypoparathyroidism. The cardiac failure was not easily relieved by digoxin and diuretics but it quickly responded when the plasma calcium was restored to normal with ...

WarpPINN: Cine-MR image registration with physics-informed neural networks [PDF]
Heart failure is typically diagnosed with a global function assessment, such as ejection fraction. However, these metrics have low discriminate power, failing to distinguish different types of this disease. Quantifying local deformations in the form of cardiac strain can provide helpful information, but it remains a challenge.

Cardiac Rehabilitation in Heart Failure [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality, resulting in reduced organ perfusion. The goals of treatment in patients with HF are to improve functional capacity and quality of life, and to reduce mortality.

A dynamic risk score for early prediction of cardiogenic shock using machine learning [PDF]
Myocardial infarction and heart failure are major cardiovascular diseases that affect millions of people in the US. The morbidity and mortality are highest among patients who develop cardiogenic shock. Early recognition of cardiogenic shock is critical.

Predicting adverse outcomes following catheter ablation treatment for atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Objective: To develop prognostic survival models for predicting adverse outcomes after catheter ablation treatment for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: We used a linked dataset including hospital administrative data, prescription medicine claims, emergency department presentations, and death registrations of patients in New South Wales,

The Economics of Cardiac Failure [PDF]
Quality assurance and inclusion of prospective evaluation of costs of treatment in phase 3 and 4 pharmaceutical trials are becoming increasingly important. Not only high technology applications have to be investigated, but also relatively cheap but very common strategies for diagnostic work up and therapy. This may yield major savings.

Simulating Cardiac Fluid Dynamics in the Human Heart [PDF]
Cardiac fluid dynamics fundamentally involves interactions between complex blood flows and the structural deformations of the muscular heart walls and the thin, flexible valve leaflets. There has been longstanding scientific, engineering, and medical interest in creating mathematical models of the heart that capture, explain, and predict these fluid ...

Automatic segmentation with detection of local segmentation failures in cardiac MRI [PDF]
Segmentation of cardiac anatomical structures in cardiac magnetic resonance images (CMRI) is a prerequisite for automatic diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. To increase robustness and performance of segmentation methods this study combines automatic segmentation and assessment of segmentation uncertainty in CMRI to detect image regions
