Risk factors associated with mortality and interventions in 472 neonates with interrupted aortic arch: A Congenital Heart Surgeons Society study [PDF]
ObjectiveWe sought to determine the prevalence of outcomes and associated patient and management factors for neonates with interrupted aortic arch.MethodsFrom 1987 to 1997, a total of 472 neonates were enrolled prospectively from 33 institutions ...

Right ventricle outflow tract dilatation and pulmonary artery aneurysm, rare cardiac conditions
We describe a rare case of simultaneous idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract dilatation and idiopathic main pulmonary artery aneurysm. A 59-year-old male presented with complaints of exertional shortness of breath and a cardiac murmur since ...

Shifted Windows Transformers for Medical Image Quality Assessment [PDF]
To maintain a standard in a medical imaging study, images should have necessary image quality for potential diagnostic use. Although CNN-based approaches are used to assess the image quality, their performance can still be improved in terms of accuracy.

Rheologic genesis of discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis: A Doppler echocardiographic study [PDF]
To determine whether morphologic structures or abnormal flow patterns predispose to pathologic proliferation or subvalvular tissue, 26 patients (mean age 19.8 ± 10.3 years) were studied ≥6 months after operation for isolated discrete subvalvular aortic ...

Development of the arterial roots and ventricular outflow tracts
AbstractThe separation of the outflow tract of the developing heart into the systemic and pulmonary arterial channels remains controversial and poorly understood. The definitive outflow tracts have three components. The developing outflow tract, in contrast, has usually been described in two parts.

Explainable Image Quality Assessment for Medical Imaging [PDF]
Medical image quality assessment is an important aspect of image acquisition, as poor-quality images may lead to misdiagnosis. Manual labelling of image quality is a tedious task for population studies and can lead to misleading results. While much research has been done on automated analysis of image quality to address this issue, relatively little ...

Ablation of the epicardial substrate in the right ventricular outflow tract in a patient with brugada syndrome refusing implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy [PDF]
Brugada syndrome is associated with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Currently, the cornerstone of therapy is implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

Electrocardiographic features, mapping and ablation of idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias [PDF]
Idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias are ventricular tachycardias or premature ventricular contractions presumably not related to myocardial scar or disorders of ion channels.

A novel approach for the diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia based on phase space reconstruction of ECG [PDF]
Ventricular arrhythmias comprise a group of disorders which manifest clinically in a variety of ways from ventricular premature beats (VPB) and no sustained ventricular tachycardia (in healthy subjects) to sudden cardiac death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia in patients with and/or without structural heart disease.
