Predicting Ejection Fraction from Chest X-rays Using Computer Vision for Diagnosing Heart Failure [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Heart failure remains a major public health challenge with growing costs. Ejection fraction (EF) is a key metric for the diagnosis and management of heart failure however estimation of EF using echocardiography remains expensive for the healthcare system and subject to intra/inter operator variability.

Long-term outcomes of heart failure with preserved or mid-range ejection fraction in the United States [PDF]
Background: Approximately one-half of all heart failure (HF) consists of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF).

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]
, 2009 <b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...

Can complexity decrease in Congestive Heart failure? [PDF]
, 2015 The complexity of a signal can be measured by the Recurrence period density entropy (RPDE) from the reconstructed phase space. We have chosen a window based RPDE method for the classification of signals, as RPDE is an average entropic measure of the whole phase space.

Predicting Heart Disease and Reducing Survey Time Using Machine Learning Algorithms [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Currently, many researchers and analysts are working toward medical diagnosis enhancement for various diseases. Heart disease is one of the common diseases that can be considered a significant cause of mortality worldwide. Early detection of heart disease significantly helps in reducing the risk of heart failure.

Pathologic gene network rewiring implicates PPP1R3A as a central regulator in pressure overload heart failure [PDF]
, 2019 Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality, yet our understanding of the genetic interactions underlying this disease remains incomplete. Here, we harvest 1352 healthy and failing human hearts directly from transplant center operating rooms, and ...

Heart Disease Detection using Vision-Based Transformer Models from ECG Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, is a prevalent and critical medical condition characterized by the impairment of the heart and blood vessels, leading to various complications such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and myocardial infarction.

Non-adherence to ivabradine and placebo and outcomes in chronic heart failure: an analysis from SHIFT [PDF]
, 2016 Aims In heart failure, non-adherence increases events; in turn, the effect of hospitalization on adherence is incompletely understood. We explored the relationship of non-adherence to outcomes, hospitalizations with non-adherence, and the influence of
