Automated segmentation of biventricular contours in tissue phase mapping using deep learning.

NMR in biomedicine
Tissue phase mapping (TPM) is an MRI technique for quantification of regional biventricular myocardial velocities. Despite its potential, clinical use is limited due to the requisite labor-intensive manual segmentation of cardiac contours for all tim...

Using machine learning to improve survival prediction after heart transplantation.

Journal of cardiac surgery
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the use of modern machine learning (ML) techniques to improve prediction of survival after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT).

State-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for the prediction of outcomes after contemporary heart transplantation: Results from the UNOS database.

Clinical transplantation
PURPOSE: We sought to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models to increase the predictive accuracy of mortality after heart transplantation (HT).

An integrated molecular diagnostic report for heart transplant biopsies using an ensemble of diagnostic algorithms.

The Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND: We previously reported a microarray-based diagnostic system for heart transplant endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs), using either 3-archetype (3AA) or 4-archetype (4AA) unsupervised algorithms to estimate rejection. In the present study we ex...

Predictive Abilities of Machine Learning Techniques May Be Limited by Dataset Characteristics: Insights From the UNOS Database.

Journal of cardiac failure
BACKGROUND: Traditional statistical approaches to prediction of outcomes have drawbacks when applied to large clinical databases. It is hypothesized that machine learning methodologies might overcome these limitations by considering higher-dimensiona...

Prediction of mortality following pediatric heart transplant using machine learning algorithms.

Pediatric transplantation
BACKGROUND: Optimizing transplant candidates' priority for donor organs depends on the accurate assessment of post-transplant outcomes. Due to the complexity of transplantation and the wide range of possible serious complications, recipient outcomes ...

The Role of GDF-15 in Heart Failure Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is a stress-inducible cytokine and member of the transforming growth factor-β cytokine superfamily that refines prognostic assessment in subgroups of patients with heart failure (HF). We evaluated...
