Characteristics of coronary artery ectasia and accompanying plaques: an optical coherence tomography studyThe International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging -
Yu Hou, Jihong Dai, Hao Tang, Chao Fang, Shuang Jiang, Xueming Xu, Bo Yu, Yingfeng Tu
AbstractCoronary artery ectasia (CAE) in adults is often caused by atherosclerotic plaques. CAE can affect atherosclerotic plaques through hemodynamic changes. However, no study has evaluated the characteristics of CAE with atherosclerotic plaques. Therefore, we aimed to disclose the characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques in patients with CAE using optical cohe...... hiện toàn bộ
Three-dimensional echocardiography for the evaluation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients: relation to symptoms and exercise capacityThe International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging - Tập 39 Số 12 - Trang 2475-2481
I Cardoso, J Viegas, Sílvia Aguiar Rosa, P Garcia Bras, A Grazina, Inês Cruz, Luísa Moura Branco, A Galrinho, António Fiarresga, Luís Rocha Lopes, Rui Cruz Ferreira
AbstractPatients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may exhibit impaired functional capacity, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Systolic function is one of the determinants of functional capacity. Early identification of systolic disfunction may identify patients at risk for adverse outcomes. Myocardial deformation parameters, derived from three-dime...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of an artificial intelligence-based system for echocardiographic estimation of right atrial pressureThe International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging -
Ghada Zamzmi, Li‐Yueh Hsu, Sivaramakrishnan Rajaraman, Wen Li, Vandana Sachdev, Sameer Antani
AbstractCurrent noninvasive estimation of right atrial pressure (RAP) by inferior vena cava (IVC) measurement during echocardiography may have significant inter-rater variability due to different levels of observers’ experience. Therefore, there is a need to develop new approaches to decrease the variability of IVC analysis and RAP estimation. This study aims to de...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantitative flow ratio to predict long-term coronary artery bypass graft patency in patients with left main coronary artery diseaseThe International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging - Tập 38 - Trang 2811-2818 - 2022
Cameron Dowling, Adam J. Nelson, Ren Yik Lim, Jun Michael Zhang, Kevin Cheng, Julian A. Smith, Sujith Seneviratne, Yuvaraj Malaiapan, Sarah Zaman, Dennis T. L. Wong
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has been demonstrated in some studies to predict long-term coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patency. Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is an emerging technology which may predict FFR. In this study, we hypothesised that QFR would predict long-term CABG patency and that QFR would offer superior diagnostic performance to quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and intrav...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of temporal resolution on calcium scoring: insights from photon-counting detector CTThe International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging -

AbstractTo intra-individually investigate the variation of coronary artery calcium (CAC), aortic valve calcium (AVC), and mitral annular calcium (MAC) scores and the presence of blur artifacts as a function of temporal resolution in patients undergoing non-contrast cardiac CT on a dual-source photon counting detector (PCD) CT. This retrospective, IRB-approved study...... hiện toàn bộ
Machine learning algorithms to automate differentiating cardiac amyloidosis from hypertrophic cardiomyopathyThe International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging - Tập 39 - Trang 339-348 - 2022
Zi-Wen Wu, Jin-Lei Zheng, Lin Kuang, Hui Yan
Cardiac amyloidosis has a poor prognosis, and high mortality and is often misdiagnosed as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, leading to delayed diagnosis. Machine learning combined with speckle tracking echocardiography was proposed to automate differentiating two conditions. A total of 74 patients with pathologically confirmed monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain cardiac amyloidosis and 64 patients wi...... hiện toàn bộ

Machine learning evaluation of LV outflow obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using three-chamber cardiovascular magnetic resonanceThe International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging - Tập 38 - Trang 2695-2705 - 2022

Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but relationships between anatomical metrics and obstruction are poorly understood. We aimed to develop machine learning methods to evaluate LVOTO in HCM patients and quantify relationships between anatomical metrics and obstruction. This retrospective analysis of 1905 participants of the HCM Registr...... hiện toàn bộ
