BACKGROUND: Intracardiac or pulmonary right-to-left shunt (RLS) is a common cardiac anomaly associated with an increased risk of neurological disorders, specifically cryptogenic stroke. Saline-contrasted transthoracic echocardiography (scTTE) is ofte...
BACKGROUND: To develop a novel complexity evaluation system for mitral valve repair based on preoperative echocardiographic data and multiple machine learning algorithms.
An echocardiogram is a sophisticated ultrasound imaging technique employed to diagnose heart conditions. The transthoracic echocardiogram, one of the most prevalent types, is instrumental in evaluating significant cardiac diseases. However, interpret...

BACKGROUND: Although regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA) detection is foundational to transthoracic echocardiography, current methods are prone to interobserver variability. We aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model for RWMA assessment and c...
Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) is a valuable point-of-care method for evaluating cardiovascular structures and function, but its scope is limited by equipment and operator's experience, resulting in primarily qualitative 2D exams. This study pres...
Cardiac ultrasound (US) image segmentation is vital for evaluating clinical indices, but it often demands a large dataset and expert annotations, resulting in high costs for deep learning algorithms. To address this, our study presents a framework ut...
