Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a rare, congenital form of cardiomyopathy characterized by excessive trabeculations in the left ventricle myocardium. NCCM is often an underdiagnosed heart condition characterized by abnormal myocardial trabecu...
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is independently associated with cardiovascular events in patients with congenital heart disease. Although artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) analysis is predictive of ...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform point-of-care practice by providing rapid snapshots of cardiac functioning. Although previous AI models have been developed to estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), they ha...

BACKGROUND: Identifying structural heart diseases (SHDs) early can change the course of the disease, but their diagnosis requires cardiac imaging, which is limited in accessibility.
BACKGROUND: Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) enables cardiac imaging at the bedside and in communities but is limited by abbreviated protocols and variation in quality. We aimed to develop and test artificial intelligence (AI) models to screen f...
BACKGROUND: Perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PMVSD) is a prevalent congenital heart disease, presenting challenges in predicting spontaneous closure, which is crucial for therapeutic decisions. Existing models mainly rely on structured echoc...
PURPOSE: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common cardiovascular condition where early detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is essential for timely intervention and optimal management. Current echocardiographic measurements, such as ejection fracti...
