INTRODUCTION: In China, there is a lack of standardised clinical imaging databases for multidimensional evaluation of cardiopulmonary diseases. To address this gap, this study protocol launched a project to build a clinical imaging technology integra...
Cardiomyopathy often alters left ventricular geometry (LVG), impairing cardiac function. We developed a deep learning (DL) model to estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from echocardiographic images while accounting for LVG variability ...
BACKGROUND: The basal septal hypertrophy(BSH) is an often under-recognized morphological change in the left ventricle. This is a common echocardiographic finding with a prevalence of approximately 7-20%, which may indicate early structural and functi...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue represents a metabolically active visceral fat depot that is in direct contact with the left ventricular myocardium. While it is associated with coronary artery disease, little is known regarding its role in aort...
BACKGROUND: Early detection of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) after anthracycline exposure is critically important in minimizing morbidity and mortality. Artificial intelligence models applied to electrocardiograms (ECG-AI) may al...
BACKGROUND: Incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD) is challenging to diagnose due to its lack of classic clinical features, yet it has a higher incidence of coronary artery lesions, making early detection crucial. Echocardiography plays a vital role in ide...
BACKGROUND: Access to echocardiography in remote and rural areas is limited due to a shortage of trained sonographers and the difficulties of accessing isolated regions. A Haptically-Enabled Robot for Teleoperated Echocardiography (HERTEC) was develo...
INTRODUCTION: Congenital heart defect (CHD) is a significant, rapidly emerging global problem in child health and a leading cause of neonatal and childhood death. Prenatal detection of CHDs with the help of ultrasound allows better perinatal manageme...
Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures in echocardiography videos is vital for diagnosing heart disease. However, challenges such as speckle noise, low spatial resolution, and incomplete video annotations hinder the accuracy and efficiency of se...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide, underscoring the need for advancements in diagnostic methodologies to improve early detection and treatment outcomes. This systematic review examines the integration of adv...
