BACKGROUND: Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative to lifelong anticoagulation, but optimal patient selection remains challenging.
BACKGROUND: Hyperkalemia, characterized by elevated serum potassium levels, heightens the risk of sudden cardiac death, particularly increasing risk for individuals with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Traditional laborator...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) analysis shows promise to predict mortality in adults with acquired cardiovascular diseases. However, its application to the growing repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) populatio...
BACKGROUND: New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) occurs in 5% to 15% of patients who undergo transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Cardiac imaging has been underutilized to predict NOAF following TAVR.
BACKGROUND: Prediction of drug-induced long QT syndrome (diLQTS) is of critical importance given its association with torsades de pointes. There is no reliable method for the outpatient prediction of diLQTS.
Biological age may be a more valuable predictor of morbidity and mortality than a person's chronological age. Mathematical models have been used for decades to predict biological age, but recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have led t...
BACKGROUND: Continuous monitoring for atrial fibrillation (AF) using photoplethysmography (PPG) from smartwatches or other wearables is challenging due to periods of poor signal quality during motion or suboptimal wearing. As a result, many consumer ...
BACKGROUND: Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are prevalent and, although often benign, they may lead to PVC-induced cardiomyopathy. We created a deep-learning algorithm to predict left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction in patients ...
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of Brugada syndrome by 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) is challenging because the diagnostic type 1 pattern is often transient.
OBJECTIVES: This paper reports the development, validation, and public availability of a new neural network-based system which attempts to identify the manufacturer and even the model group of a pacemaker or defibrillator from a chest radiograph.
