PURPOSE: Carpentier's functional classification is a guide to explain the types of mitral valve regurgitation based on morphological features. There are four types of pathological morphologies, regardless of the presence or absence of mitral regurgit...
BACKGROUND: Echocardiography is the diagnostic modality for assessing cardiac systolic and diastolic function to diagnose and manage heart failure. However, manual interpretation of echocardiograms can be time consuming and subject to human error. Th...
Accurate segmentation of fetal heart in echocardiography images is essential for detecting the structural abnormalities such as congenital heart defects (CHDs). Due to the wide variations attributed to different factors, such as maternal obesity, abd...
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...

OBJECTIVES: A paucity of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) databases limits machine learning (ML). Assess feasibility of training ML algorithms to visually estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from a subxiphoid (SX) window using only apica...
As the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the clinical setting increases, the need for clinicians to understand AI is also increasing. This review focuses on the fundamental principles of AI and the current state of cardiovascular AI. Vari...
BACKGROUND: Laboratory testing is routinely used to assay blood biomarkers to provide information on physiologic state beyond what clinicians can evaluate from interpreting medical imaging. We hypothesized that deep learning interpretation of echocar...
Deep learning can bring time savings and increased reproducibility to medical image analysis. However, acquiring training data is challenging due to the time-intensive nature of labeling and high inter-observer variability in annotations. Rather than...
