BACKGROUND: Regional Wall Motion Abnormality (RWMA) serves as an early indicator of myocardial infarction (MI), the global leader in mortality. Accurate and early detection of RWMA is vital for the successful treatment of MI. Current automated echoca...
BACKGROUND: Point-of-care (POC) high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays have been shown to provide similar analytical precision despite substantially shorter turnaround times compared with laboratory-based hs-cTn assays. We applied the prev...
BACKGROUND: Plaque quantification from coronary computed tomography angiography has emerged as a valuable predictor of cardiovascular risk. Deep learning can provide automated quantification of coronary plaque from computed tomography angiography. We...
Infarct size (IS) is the most robust end point for evaluating the success of preclinical studies on cardioprotection. The gold standard for IS quantification in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) experiments is triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, ...
Conflicting clinical trial results on omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) have prompted uncertainty about their cardioprotective effects. While the VITAL trial found no overall cardiovascular benefit from n-3 HUFA supplementation, its s...
INTRODUCTION: Deep learning (DL) models offer improved performance in electrocardiogram (ECG)-based classification over rule-based methods. However, for widespread adoption by clinicians, explainability methods, like saliency maps, are essential.
BACKGROUND: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a standard technique for diagnosing myocardial infarction (MI), which, however, poses risks due to gadolinium contrast usage. Techniques enabling MI assessment based on...
OBJECTIVES: Data suggest patients suffering acute coronary occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) benefit from prompt primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI). Many emergency medical services (EMS) activate catheterization labs to reduce time to PPCI,...
Machine learning has gained attention in the medical field. Continuous efforts are being made to develop robust models for early prognosis purposes. The brain is the most pivotal organ in the human body. A brain stroke is generally caused by a blocka...
Rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is crucial for optimal patient management. Accurate diagnosis and time of onset of an acute event can influence treatment plans, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PCI is most benefi...
