OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop non-invasive machine learning classifiers for predicting post-Glenn shunt patients with low and high risks of a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) > 15 mmHg based on preoperative cardiac computed tomograph...
Fetal congenital heart disease (FHD) is a common and serious congenital malformation in children. In Asia, FHD birth defect rates have reached as high as 9.3%. For the early detection of birth defects and mortality, echocardiography remains the most ...

Deep learning (DL) algorithms are increasingly used in cardiac imaging. We aimed to investigate the utility of DL algorithms in de-noising transthoracic echocardiographic images and removing acoustic shadowing artefacts specifically in patients with ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential to improve the accuracy of screening for valvular and congenital heart disease by auscultation. However, despite recent advances in signal processing and classification algorithms focused on heart sounds, cl...
PURPOSE: Real-time assessment of ventricular volumes requires high acceleration factors. Residual convolutional neural networks (CNN) have shown potential for removing artifacts caused by data undersampling. In this study, we investigated the ability...
This study concerns the task of automatic structural heart abnormality risk detection from digital phonocardiogram (PCG) signals aiming at pediatric heart disease screening applications. Recently, various systems based on convolutional neural network...
Deep neural networks are increasingly being used in both supervised learning for classification tasks and unsupervised learning to derive complex patterns from the input data. However, the successful implementation of deep neural networks using neuro...
Previous research suggested an association between maternal exposure to ambient air pollutants and risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs), though the effects of particulate matter ≤10μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM) on CHDs are inconsistent. We used ...
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...
