Prognostic impact of gait speed, muscle strength and muscle mass in chronic heart failure—A prospective cohort study

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The prognostic impact of the muscle parameters gait speed, handgrip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle index on cardiovascular outcomes was investigated. We prospectively analyzed a cohort of 205 heart failure patients with a median left ventricular ejection fraction of 37% and a median follow‐up of 4.7 years.

Learning Interpretable Anatomical Features Through Deep Generative Models: Application to Cardiac Remodeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Alterations in the geometry and function of the heart define well-established causes of cardiovascular disease. However, current approaches to the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases often rely on subjective human assessment as well as manual analysis of medical images.

Cardiac magnetic resonance left atrioventricular coupling index as a prognostic tool in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims A novel marker left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) has been proved to be associated with cardiovascular events in patients without history of cardiovascular disease. However, the studies on cardiac magnetic resonance‐derived LACI in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients are limited, and the prognostic value of LACI has still ...

The right ventricle under pressure: Anatomy and imaging in sickness and health

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 1, Page 17-28, January 2023., 2023
The RV is essential to the homeostasis of normal physiology and disturbances in RV structure and function has a substantial effect on patient outcomes. This review sets out to describe the developmental and anatomical complexities of the right ventricle while exploring the modern techniques employed to image and understand its function from a clinical ...

A Deep Learning-Driven Pipeline for Differentiating Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy from Cardiac Amyloidosis Using 2D Multi-View Echocardiography [PDF]

arXiv
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are both heart conditions that can progress to heart failure if untreated. They exhibit similar echocardiographic characteristics, often leading to diagnostic challenges. This paper introduces a novel multi-view deep learning approach that utilizes 2D echocardiography for differentiating ...

H2FPEF and HFA‐PEFF scores for heart failure risk stratification in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims H2FPEF and HFA‐PEFF scores have demonstrated prognostic value in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction. This study aimed to explore the value of the H2FPEF and HFA‐PEFF scores for HF risk stratification in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Advancements in left ventricular assist devices to prevent pump thrombosis and blood coagulopathy

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 1, Page 29-49, January 2023., 2023
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)‐related blood coagulopathy: Pump thrombosis is one of the most severe adverse events caused by LVADs. The contact of blood with artificial materials of LVAD pumps and cannulas triggers the coagulation cascade. Abstract Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are
