On in-silico estimation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure from cardiac strains [PDF]
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a group of diseases that adversely affect the passive phase of the cardiac cycle and can lead to heart failure. While left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is a valuable prognostic measure in LVDD patients, traditional invasive methods of measuring LVEDP present risks and limitations ...

5-Fluorouracil cardiotoxicity:reversible left ventricular systolic dysfunction with early detection [PDF]
A 33-year-old man presented to hospital with acute shortness of breath and evolving ST segment changes on ECG 3 days following a cycle of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for colon cancer.

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 ...

POSSIBILITIES FOR EXPANDING THE INDICATIONS FOR CHEMOTHERAPY OF UTERINE CANCER [PDF]
Incidence rate of myocardial dysfunction in females operated on the occasion of uterine cancer and with manifestations of symptomatic chronic iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) of moderate or severe degree was studied. A diagnostic test for early diagnosis and

Claustrum Volume Is Reduced in Multiple Sclerosis and Predicts Disability
ABSTRACT Objective The claustrum is a small, thin structure of predominantly gray matter with broad connectivity and enigmatic function. Little is known regarding the impact of claustrum pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This study assessed whether claustrum volume was reduced in MS and whether reductions were associated with specific ...

M(otion)-mode Based Prediction of Ejection Fraction using Echocardiograms [PDF]
Early detection of cardiac dysfunction through routine screening is vital for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. An important metric of cardiac function is the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), where lower EF is associated with cardiomyopathy.

Imaging predictors of incident heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Preventing the evolution of subclinical cardiac disease into overt heart failure is of paramount importance. Imaging techniques, particularly transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), are well suited to identify abnormalities in cardiac structure
