BACKGROUND: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) represents the most prevalent cardiac disorder in dogs, frequently resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR) and congestive heart failure. Although echocardiography is the gold standard for diagnosis, i...
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) function has a well-established prognostic role in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and is typically assessed using echocardiography-measured tricusp...
Computational models that can predict growth and remodeling of the heart could have important clinical applications. However, the time it takes to calibrate and run current models while considering data uncertainty and variability makes them impracti...

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.
BACKGROUND: Considering the high prevalence of mitral regurgitation (MR) and the highly subjective, variable MR severity reporting, an automated tool that could screen patients for clinically significant MR (≥ moderate) would streamline the diagnosti...
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of mitral regurgitation (MR) requires careful evaluation by echocardiography with Doppler imaging. This study presents the development and validation of a fully automated deep learning pipeline for identifying apical 4-chamber v...
INTRODUCTION: Transcatheter mitral valve repair offers a minimally invasive treatment option for patients at high risk for traditional open repair. We sought to develop dynamic machine-learning risk prediction models for in-hospital mortality after t...
OBJECTIVE: The proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method is a well-established approach for mitral regurgitation (MR) quantification. However, it exhibits high inter-observer variability and inaccuracies in cases of non-hemispherical flow conve...
A heart-convolutional neural network (heart-CNN) was designed and tested for the automatic classification of chest radiographs in dogs affected by myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) at different stages of disease severity. A retrospective and mul...
