Multimodal Foundation Models For Echocardiogram Interpretation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Multimodal deep learning foundation models can learn the relationship between images and text. In the context of medical imaging, mapping images to language concepts reflects the clinical task of diagnostic image interpretation, however current general-purpose foundation models do not perform well in this context because their training corpus have ...

Aortic Root Anatomy and Impact on New‐Onset Left Bundle Branch Block After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Angulation of virtual basal ring (VBR), also known as aortic annulus, in relation to sino‐tubular junction (STJ) may lead to greater exposure of implanted stent to the conduction system, consequently increasing the risk of left bundle branch block (LBBB).

Safety and Efficacy of Single Femoral Vein Puncture Technique for Double Access in Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Under ICE Guidance—A Single Center Experience of the “Two‐In‐One Technique”

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In selected patient populations, percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale has been shown to be beneficial in preventing cerebral ischaemic events. In most cases, this procedure requires echocardiographic guidance, which may be transesophageal, transthoracic or intracardiac.

The International TrifectaTM and EpicTM Valve‐in‐Valve Registry: Insights Into Clinical & Hemodynamic Outcomes

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Little is known about the clinical and hemodynamic outcome of valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV‐TAVR) for failed Trifecta surgical aortic bioprotheses. Aims We aimed to compare outcomes of valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV‐TAVR into failed TrifectaTM vs.

View Classification and Object Detection in Cardiac Ultrasound to Localize Valves via Deep Learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Echocardiography provides an important tool for clinicians to observe the function of the heart in real time, at low cost, and without harmful radiation. Automated localization and classification of heart valves enables automatic extraction of quantities associated with heart mechanical function and related blood flow measurements. We propose a machine

Hemodynamics of a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve with Different Levels of Dysfunction [PDF]

Volume 2 Issue 5 - 2017, 2017
Heart disease is one of leading causes of mortality worldwide. Healthy heart valves are key for proper heart function. When these valves dysfunction, a replacement is often necessary in severe cases. The current study presents an investigation of the pulsatile blood flow through a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) where one leaflet is healthy and

Emergent Cardiac Surgery After Transcatheter Structural Heart Procedures: Narrative Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter structural heart procedures have become standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risk. Over time, these procedures have significantly increased worldwide, accompanied by a concomitant reduction of major complications, including those requiring emergent cardiac surgery (ECS).
