Lightweight and Interpretable Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Estimation using Mobile U-Net [PDF]
Accurate LVEF measurement is important in clinical practice as it identifies patients who may be in need of life-prolonging treatments. This paper presents a deep learning based framework to automatically estimate left ventricular ejection fraction from an entire 4-chamber apical echocardiogram video.

The relationship between left ventricular wall thickness, myocardial shortening and ejection fraction in hypertensive heart disease:insights from cardiac magnetic resonance: LVH independently augments EF in hypertension [PDF]
Hypertensive heart disease is often associated with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction despite impaired myocardial shortening. The authors investigated this paradox in 55 hypertensive patients (52±13 years, 58% male) and 32 age‐ and sex ...

Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: The ARIC Study
Background Whether coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant risk factor for heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unclear. Methods and Results Among 9902 participants in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study,

Use of a regional wall motion score to enhance risk stratification of patients receiving an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [PDF]
Objectives. We postulated that preoperative assessment of both regional wall motion and left ventricular ejection fraction would serve as an accurate prognostic indicator of long-term cardiac mortality and functional outcome in patients treated with an ...

Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]
Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for heart failure and are associated with the consumption of diet rich in saturated fat and sugar, Western diet (WD), known to induce cardiac dysfunction in the mouse through incompletely characterized ...
