AIMS: Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is considered a genetic cardiomyopathy with unknown pathophysiological mechanisms. We propose to evaluate echocardiographic predictors for rigid body rotation (RBR) in NCC using a machine learning (ML) based m...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is an uncommon cardiomyopathy characterised by a thick and spongy left ventricle wall caused by the high presence of trabeculae (hyper-trabeculation). Recently, the percentage of the tr...
Accurate segmentation of the myocardial scar may supply relevant advancements in predicting and controlling deadly ventricular arrhythmias in subjects with cardiovascular disease. In this paper, we propose the architecture of inclusion and classifica...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have the potential to remarkably change the practice of cardiology in order to improve and optimize outcomes in heart failure and specifically cardiomyopathies, offering us novel tools to int...
Feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common heart disease affecting 10-15% of all cats. Cats with HCM exhibit breathing difficulties, lethargy, and heart murmur; furthermore, feline HCM can also result in sudden death. Among various methods ...
BACKGROUND: Quantification of chamber size and systolic function is a fundamental component of cardiac imaging. However, the human heart is a complex structure with significant uncharacterized phenotypic variation beyond traditional metrics of size a...
Left ventricular mass is a risk marker for cardiovascular events, and may indicate an underlying cardiomyopathy. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold-standard for left ventricular mass estimation, but is challenging to obtain at scale. Here, we use...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac uptake on technetium-99m whole-body scintigraphy (WBS) is almost pathognomonic of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. The rare false positives are often related to light-chain cardiac amyloidosis. However, this scintigraphic featur...
Mapping gene networks requires large amounts of transcriptomic data to learn the connections between genes, which impedes discoveries in settings with limited data, including rare diseases and diseases affecting clinically inaccessible tissues. Recen...
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 ...
