Self supervised convolutional kernel based handcrafted feature harmonization: Enhanced left ventricle hypertension disease phenotyping on echocardiography [PDF]
Radiomics, a medical imaging technique, extracts quantitative handcrafted features from images to predict diseases. Harmonization in those features ensures consistent feature extraction across various imaging devices and protocols. Methods for harmonization include standardized imaging protocols, statistical adjustments, and evaluating feature ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy in renal failure [PDF]
In patients with terminal renal failure, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is extremely common. It is found in approximately 60 to 80% of patients starting renal replacement therapy. The main causes of LVH are increased preload from hypervolemia and increased afterload from increased peripheral resistance, giving rise to a mixture of eccentric and ...

Long-lasting cardiac overload in man as well as in experimental animals leads to an increase in heart weight (or better: heart weight/body weight ratio). Cardiac hypertrophy can result from increased physiologic activity (“physiologic hypertrophy”) or from disease states (“pathologic hypertrophy”).

Left ventricular hypertrophy diagnosed after a stroke: a case report
Background Stroke is a recognized clinical course of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This interesting case showed notable difference on the electrocardiogram of a patient 4 months prior to suffering a stroke and 10 days after suffering a stroke.

VALIDITY OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC VOLTAGE CRITERIA: HOW USEFUL ARE THEY IN ATHLETES? [PDF]
Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy have been almost exclusively elaborated and calibrated in general population. Because several differences in ECG characteristics have been found in athletes, the applicability of ...

Semantic-aware Temporal Channel-wise Attention for Cardiac Function Assessment [PDF]
Cardiac function assessment aims at predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) given an echocardiogram video, which requests models to focus on the changes in the left ventricle during the cardiac cycle. How to assess cardiac function accurately and automatically from an echocardiogram video is a valuable topic in intelligent assisted ...
