BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) are associated with incompletely characterized aortopathy. Our objectives were to identify distinct patterns of aortopathy using machine-learning methods and characterize their association with valve morpholog...

Evaluation of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and correlation with heart valve abnormalities among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Nested case-control study was conducted with 70 patients with SLE selected from a longitudinal data...
Aortic valve morphology has been invoked as intrinsic to outcomes of balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) for congenital aortic valve stenosis. We sought to use aortic valve morphologic features to discriminate between valves that respond favorably or ...
This paper presents a novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological murmurs using the growing time support vector machine (GTSVM). The proposed method is tailored for characterizing innocent murmurs (IM) by putting more emphasis o...
BACKGROUND: To establish the most effective and safe pre-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) CT angiography (CTA) protocol by comparing two approaches in terms of image quality, radiation and contrast dose.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to retrain our existing deep learning-based fully automated aortic valve leaflets/root measurement algorithm, using computed tomography (CT) data for root dilatation (RD), and assess its clinical feasibility.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has revolutionized the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. Although its clinical efficacy is well established, the development of new-onset left bundle branch block (LBBB) following...
BACKGROUND: Post-operative moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with poor outcomes, yet the factors contributing to this complication are not well understood. This study ai...
