Anesthesia or surgical operation has high risk of re-infarction in acute phase of post myocardial infarction (MI) period (Steen & Tarham 1978). When emergency operation becomes necessary in these critically ill patients, proper evaluation of patient cardiac state is required to avoid the recurrence.Cardiac reserve index (CRI) score, comprising patient ...

Influence of Exoskeleton Use on Cardiac Index
This study aims to assess the whole-body physiological effects of wearing an exoskeleton during a one-hour standardized work task, utilizing the Cardiac Index (CI) as the target parameter. N = 42 young and healthy subjects with welding experience took part in the study. The standardized and abstracted one-hour workflow consists of simulated welding and

Automatic 3D bi-ventricular segmentation of cardiac images by a shape-refined multi-task deep learning approach [PDF]
Deep learning approaches have achieved state-of-the-art performance in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) image segmentation. However, most approaches have focused on learning image intensity features for segmentation, whereas the incorporation of ...

Sudden cardiac death in patients with ischemic heart failure undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting results from the STICH randomized clinical trial (Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure) [PDF]
Background—The risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with heart failure following CABG has not been examined in a contemporary clinical trial of surgical revascularization. This analysis describes the incidence, timing and clinical predictors of

Fetal cardiac function assessed by Doppler myocardial performance index (Tei Index) [PDF]
AbstractObjectivesThe Tei Index (TI) is a useful, non‐invasive, Doppler‐derived myocardial performance tool which can be used to assess aspects of systolic and diastolic function. The aim of this study was to determine normal values of fetal left ventricular (LV) TI in second‐ and third‐ trimester fetuses and to compare these to other values reported ...
