Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent heart valve disease in western countries that poses a significant public health challenge due to the lack of a medical treatment to prevent valve calcification. Given the aging population demographic, the pr...
In this paper, we explored the use of deep learning for the prediction of aortic flow metrics obtained using 4-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using wearable seismocardiography (SCG) devices. 4D flow MRI provides a comprehensiv...
Accurate planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is important to minimize complications, and it requires anatomic evaluation of the aortic root (AR), commonly performed through 3D computed tomography (CT) image analysis. Currently,...

BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common form of valvular heart disease, present in over 12% of the population age 75 years and above. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the first line of imaging in the adjudication of AS severity but is tim...
BACKGROUND: Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are a rare subtype of benign primary cardiac tumours, which are most commonly found on the aortic valve. Although median sternotomy is still used frequently there has been different attempts to remove the a...
AIMS: This study sought to examine the feasibility, accuracy and reproducibility of a novel, fully automated 2D transthoracic echocardiography (2D TTE) parasternal long axis (PLAX) view aortic measurements quantification software compared to board-ce...
BACKGROUND: Traditional statistics, based on prediction models with a limited number of prespecified variables, are probably not adequate to provide an appropriate classification of a condition that is as heterogeneous as aortic stenosis (AS).
A 76-year-old male patient was referred to our institution with moderate-to-severe aortic and mitral insufficiency. The patient underwent totally endoscopic robot-assisted aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair. In this article, we present ...
