INTRODUCTION: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in younger individuals. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for management and improving patient outcomes. The application of convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), a ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: WHO defines SCD as sudden unexpected death either within 1 h of symptom onset (witnessed) or within 24 h of having been observed alive and symptom-free (unwitnessed). Sudden cardiac arrest is a major cause of mortality worldwide, w...
BACKGROUND: Detecting subtle patterns of atrial fibrillation (AF) and irregularities in Holter recordings is intricate and unscalable if done manually. Artificial intelligence-based techniques can be beneficial. In fact, with the rapid advancement of...
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a widely used, non-invasive, and cost-effective diagnostic method that plays a crucial role in the early detection and management of cardiac conditions. However, the ECG signal is easily disrupted by various noise signals...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia, is linked with atrial electrical and structural changes, notably low voltage areas (LVAs) which are associated with poor ablation outcomes and increased thromboembolic risk. This ...
AIMS: Through a simple machine learning approach, we aimed to assess the risk of all-cause mortality after 5 years in a European population, based on electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, age, and sex.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) stands out as one of the most frequently used medical tests, playing a crucial role in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients. While ECG devices generate a huge amount of data, only a fraction of it holds valuabl...
INTRODUCTION: Deep learning (DL) models offer improved performance in electrocardiogram (ECG)-based classification over rule-based methods. However, for widespread adoption by clinicians, explainability methods, like saliency maps, are essential.
BACKGROUND: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), specifically ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout Europe. Diagnosis in the acute setting is mainly based on clinical symptoms and physician's inte...
