AIMS: We tested the hypothesis that a machine learning (ML) algorithm utilizing both complex echocardiographic data and clinical parameters could be used to phenogroup a heart failure (HF) cohort and identify patients with beneficial response to card...
Purpose To develop a deep learning-based method for fully automated quantification of left ventricular (LV) function from short-axis cine MR images and to evaluate its performance in a multivendor and multicenter setting. Materials and Methods This r...

BACKGROUND: Stress testing helps diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but there are no established criteria for quantifying left ventricular (LV) functional reserve. The aim of this study was to investigate whether compreh...
Multi-atlas segmentation approach is one of the most widely-used image segmentation techniques in biomedical applications. There are two major challenges in this category of methods, i.e., atlas selection and label fusion. In this paper, we propose a...
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to explore the natural clustering of echocardiographic variables used for assessing left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) in order to isolate high-risk phenotypic patterns and assess their prognostic significa...
We propose a method based on deep learning to perform cardiac segmentation on short axis Magnetic resonance imaging stacks iteratively from the top slice (around the base) to the bottom slice (around the apex). At each iteration, a novel variant of t...
AIMS: To evaluate the effects of MitraClip on left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) myocardial wall stress as assessed with the use of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and strain imaging.
