In this paper, we propose a new deep learning method based on Quaternion Wavelet Transform (QWT) phases of 2D echocardiographic sequences to estimate the motion and strain of myocardium. The proposed method considers intensity and phases gained from ...
BACKGROUND: Regional Wall Motion Abnormality (RWMA) serves as an early indicator of myocardial infarction (MI), the global leader in mortality. Accurate and early detection of RWMA is vital for the successful treatment of MI. Current automated echoca...
AIMS: Abnormalities in specific echocardiographic parameters and cardiac biomarkers have been reported among individuals with diabetes. However, a comprehensive characterization of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), a subclinical stage of myocardial abn...
High-quality standard views in two-dimensional echocardiography are essential for accurate cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment decisions. However, the quality of echocardiographic images is highly dependent on the practitioner's experience...
Nigeria has the highest reported incidence of peripartum cardiomyopathy worldwide. This open-label, pragmatic clinical trial randomized pregnant and postpartum women to usual care or artificial intelligence (AI)-guided screening to assess its impact ...
BACKGROUND: Assessing left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) with echocardiography as per ASE guidelines is tedious and time-consuming. The study aims to develop a fully automatic approach of this procedure by a lightweight hybrid algorithm combi...
