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...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop an automated method using deep learning for the reliable and precise quantification of left ventricle structure and function from echocardiogram videos, eliminating the need to identify end-systolic an...
BACKGROUND: Adverse outcomes from moderate aortic stenosis (AS) may be caused by progression to severe AS or by the effects of comorbidities. In the absence of randomized trial evidence favoring aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with moderat...
OBJECTIVE: Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) plays a crucial role in diagnosing ischemia, infarction, masses and other cardiac conditions. In the realm of MCE image analysis, accurate and consistent myocardial segmentation results are essent...
The generalization of deep neural network algorithms to a broader population is an important challenge in the medical field. We aimed to apply self-supervised learning using masked autoencoders (MAEs) to improve the performance of the 12-lead electro...
