OBJECTIVE: Valvular heart diseases (VHDs) pose a significant public health burden, and deciding the best treatment strategy necessitates accurate assessment of heart valve function. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the key modality to evaluate...
Valvular heart disease (VHD) is becoming more prevalent in an ageing population, leading to challenges in diagnosis and management. This two-part Series offers a comprehensive review of changing concepts in VHD, covering diagnosis, intervention timin...
BACKGROUND: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is becoming increasingly important to manage the risk of future complications. Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes may be related to multiple VHDs, and (AI)-enabled ECG has been able to detect some VHDs. We aim...
BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is essential in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including but not limited to heart failure (HF) and heart valve disease (HVD). However, its dependence on expert acquisition means that i...
BACKGROUND: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that poses a substantial health care and economic burden on health care systems. Administrative diagnostic codes for ascertaining VHD diagnosis are ...
BACKGROUND: The presence and intensity of heart murmurs are sensitive indicators of several cardiac diseases in dogs, particularly myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), but accurate interpretation requires substantial clinical expertise.
OBJECTIVE: There are few studies evaluating the accuracy of commercially available AI-powered digital auscultation platforms in detecting valvular heart disease (VHD). Therefore, the utility of these systems for diagnosing clinically significant VHD ...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac valve calcification (CVC) is common in dialysis patients and associated with increased cardiovascular risk. However, early screening has been limited by cost concerns. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning mo...
