Change of Heart: Can Artificial Intelligence Transform Infective Endocarditis Management?

Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland)
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising adjunct in the diagnosis and management of infective endocarditis (IE), a disease characterized by diagnostic complexity and significant morbidity. Machine learning (ML) models such as SABIER an...

A novel intelligent grade classification architecture for Patent Foramen Ovale by Contrast Transthoracic Echocardiography based on deep learning.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke. Due to the complex characteristics of contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE), PFO classification is time-consuming and laborious in clinical practice. For this reason, a...

The Year in Perioperative Echocardiography: Selected Highlights from 2024.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
This article is the ninth of an annual series reviewing the research highlights of the year pertaining to the subspecialty of perioperative echocardiography for the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. The authors thank the editor-in-ch...

Automated generation of echocardiography reports using artificial intelligence: a novel approach to streamlining cardiovascular diagnostics.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Accurate interpretation of echocardiography measurements is essential for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and guiding clinical management. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT presents a novel opportunity to automate the gene...

Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Analysis of Echocardiography-Based Radiomic Features for Myocardial Hypertrophy Detection and Etiology Differentiation.

Circulation. Cardiovascular imaging
BACKGROUND: While echocardiography is pivotal for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), it struggles with etiology differentiation. To enhance LVH assessment, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm using echocardiography-bas...

External validation of artificial intelligence for detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Nature communications
Artificial intelligence (AI) models to identify heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) based on deep-learning of echocardiograms could help address under-recognition in clinical practice, but they require extensive validation, pa...

Weighted-VAE: A deep learning approach for multimodal data generation applied to experimental T. cruzi infection.

PloS one
Chagas disease (CD), caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), represents a major public health concern in most of the American continent and causes 12,000 deaths every year. CD clinically manifests in two phases (acute and chron...

The Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Echocardiographic Detection of Congenital Heart Defects in the Fetus: A Mini-Review.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining attention in radiology and cardiology for accurately diagnosing structural heart disease. In this review paper, we first outline the technical background of AI and echocardiography and then present an a...

CACTUS: An open dataset and framework for automated Cardiac Assessment and Classification of Ultrasound images using deep transfer learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
Cardiac ultrasound (US) scanning is one of the most commonly used techniques in cardiology to diagnose the health of the heart and its proper functioning. During a typical US scan, medical professionals take several images of the heart to be classifi...
