Assessment of pulmonary regurgitation (PR) guides treatment for patients with congenital heart disease. Quantitative assessment of PR fraction (PRF) by echocardiography is limited. Cardiac MRI (cMRI) is the reference-standard for PRF quantification. ...
Prediction of outcomes following a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) is challenging. Machine learning (ML) algorithms may be used to reduce clinical uncertainty and improve prognostic accuracy. We performed a pilot study to train M...
Total Cardiac Volume (TCV)-based size matching using Computed Tomography (CT) is a novel technique to compare donor and recipient heart size in pediatric heart transplant that may increase overall utilization of available grafts. TCV requires manual ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides images for estimating fetal volume and weight, but manual delineations are time consuming. The aims were to (1) validate an algorithm to automatically quantify fetal volume by MRI; (2) compare fetal weight by...
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) volumes, ejection fraction (EF), and myocardial strain have been shown to be predictive of clinical and subclinical heart disease. Automation of LV functional assessment overcomes difficult technical challenges and c...
Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis affecting children, which can lead to coronary artery (CA) aneurysms. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has identified CA wall damage in KD patients, but it is unclear if these findings correlate with any dist...
The heart murmur associated with atrial septal defects is often faint and can thus only be detected by chance. Although electrocardiogram examination can prompt diagnoses, identification of specific findings remains a major challenge. We demonstrate ...
Ventricular contouring of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for volumetric analysis for repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), but can be time-consuming and subject to variability. A convolutional neural network (CNN) ventricular ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential to improve the accuracy of screening for valvular and congenital heart disease by auscultation. However, despite recent advances in signal processing and classification algorithms focused on heart sounds, cl...
Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD2) detection is often delayed, with the potential for late diagnosis complications. Recent work demonstrated artificial intelligence-enhanced ECG analysis shows promise to detect ASD2 in adults. However, its applicat...
