Seismocardiography - a non-invasive method of assessing systolic and diastolic left ventricular function in ischaemic heart disease [PDF]
Background: Seismocardiography (SCG) is a new non-invasive method which can assess left ventricular function (LVF) during exercise testing based on cardiac time intervals (CTI). There are no data assessing cardiac time intervals during exercise ischaemia

Conditional transgenic expression of fibroblast growth factor 9 in the adult mouse heart reduces heart failure mortality after myocardial infarction [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is secreted from bone marrow cells, which have been shown to improve systolic function after myocardial infarction (MI) in a clinical trial.

The effects of cardioversion and defibrillation on left ventricular systolic function.
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the left ventricular systolic function behavior after cardioversion and defibrillation. The study included 18 adult patients who had direct current cardioversion or defibrillation performed for conversion of spontaneous or induced arrhythmias.

An Exploration of 2D and 3D Deep Learning Techniques for Cardiac MR Image Segmentation [PDF]
Accurate segmentation of the heart is an important step towards evaluating cardiac function. In this paper, we present a fully automated framework for segmentation of the left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular cavities and the myocardium (Myo) on short-axis cardiac MR images. We investigate various 2D and 3D convolutional neural network architectures for

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in the hypertrophied ventricle.
To investigate left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in cardiac hypertrophy, we analysed LV pressure (catheter tip-manometer) and simultaneously performed cineangiography in 24 patients with systemic hypertension (HT), 25 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and 25 normal subjects.

ABSTRACT We report the case of a 3‐year‐old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow‐up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion.

A coupled mitral valve -- left ventricle model with fluid-structure interaction [PDF]
Understanding the interaction between the valves and walls of the heart is important in assessing and subsequently treating heart dysfunction. With advancements in cardiac imaging, nonlinear mechanics and computational techniques, it is now possible to explore the mechanics of valve-heart interactions using anatomically and physiologically realistic ...
