Echocardiography is a commonly used and cost-effective test to assess heart conditions. During the test, cardiologists and technicians observe two cardiac phases-end-systolic (ES) and end-diastolic (ED)-which are critical for calculating heart chambe...

BACKGROUND: Cardiac shape modeling is a useful computational tool that has provided quantitative insights into the mechanisms underlying dysfunction in heart disease. The manual input and time required to make cardiac shape models, however, limits th...

The correct assessment and characterization of heart anatomy and functionality is usually done through inspection of magnetic resonance image cine sequences. In the clinical setting it is especially important to determine the state of the left ventri...
BACKGROUND: Accurate identification of end-diastolic and end-systolic frames in echocardiographic cine loops is important, yet challenging, for human experts. Manual frame selection is subject to uncertainty, affecting crucial clinical measurements, ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is often used together with a spectral Doppler ultrasound to separate heart cycles by determining the end-diastole locations. However, the ECG signal is not always recorded. In such cases, the cardiac cycles can be estimated m...
BACKGROUND: Subclinical diastolic dysfunction is a precursor for developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); yet not all patients progress to HFpEF. Our objective was to evaluate clinical and echocardiographic variables to iden...

Heart failure is a progressive chronic condition in which the heart undergoes detrimental changes in structure and function across multiple scales in time and space. Multiscale models of cardiac growth can provide a patient-specific window into the p...
Oscillometric blood pressure (BP) monitors currently estimate a single point but do not identify variations in response to physiological characteristics. In this paper, to analyze BP's normality based on oscillometric measurements, we use statistical...
