Biomarker and shear stress in secondary pediatric pulmonary hypertension.

Turkish journal of medical sciences
Background/aim: Endothelial dysfunction, tissue damage, inflammation, and microthrombosis are involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH), which may be present as a complication of congenital heart diseases. This study aims to identif...

Subclinical Hypothyroidism Is Associated With Adverse Prognosis in Heart Failure Patients.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: It is widely recognized that overt hyper- as well as hypothyroidism are potential causes of heart failure (HF). Additionally it has been recently reported that subclinical hypothyroidism (sub-hypo) is associated with atherosclerosis, deve...

Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Heart Valve Disease in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

The American journal of the medical sciences
Evaluation of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and correlation with heart valve abnormalities among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Nested case-control study was conducted with 70 patients with SLE selected from a longitudinal data...

Text Mining of the Electronic Health Record: An Information Extraction Approach for Automated Identification and Subphenotyping of HFpEF Patients for Clinical Trials.

Journal of cardiovascular translational research
Precision medicine requires clinical trials that are able to efficiently enroll subtypes of patients in whom targeted therapies can be tested. To reduce the large amount of time spent screening, identifying, and recruiting patients with specific subt...

Tensor Factorization for Precision Medicine in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction.

Journal of cardiovascular translational research
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome that may benefit from improved subtyping in order to better characterize its pathophysiology and to develop novel targeted therapies. The United States Precis...

Segmentation of Fetal Left Ventricle in Echocardiographic Sequences Based on Dynamic Convolutional Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Segmentation of fetal left ventricle (LV) in echocardiographic sequences is important for further quantitative analysis of fetal cardiac function. However, image gross inhomogeneities and fetal random movements make the segmentation a challenging pro...

Fractional order integration and fuzzy logic based filter for denoising of echocardiographic image.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound is widely used for imaging due to its cost effectiveness and safety feature. However, ultrasound images are inherently corrupted with speckle noise which severely affects the quality of these images and create difficulty for ph...

Characterization of myocardial motion patterns by unsupervised multiple kernel learning.

Medical image analysis
We propose an independent objective method to characterize different patterns of functional responses to stress in the heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) syndrome by combining multiple temporally-aligned myocardial velocity traces...
