Despite recent advances in imaging for myocardial deformation, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is still the most important index for systolic function in daily practice. Its role in multiple fields (e.g., valvular heart disease, myocardial ...
Undiagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy (DC) can be asymptomatic or present as sudden cardiac death, therefore pre-emptively identifying and treating patients may be beneficial. Screening for DC with echocardiography is expensive and labor intensive and s...
The presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) alters clinical management and prognosis in most acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains the most common diagnostic tool to screen fo...

Deep learning algorithms for left ventricle (LV) segmentation are prone to bias towards the training dataset. This study assesses sex- and age-dependent performance differences when using deep learning for automatic LV segmentation. Retrospective ana...

Deep learning (DL) has been applied for automatic left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction (EF) measurement, but the diagnostic performance was rarely evaluated for various phenotypes of heart disease. This study aims to evaluate a new DL algorithm for ...
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to examine if fully automated measurements of global longitudinal strain (GLS) using a novel motion estimation technology based on deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are feasible and comparable with a convent...
BACKGROUND: We have recently tested an automated machine-learning algorithm that quantifies left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) from guidelines-recommended apical views. However, in the point-of-care (POC) setting, apical 2-chamber views are...
OBJECTIVE: To validate an artificial intelligence-augmented electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) algorithm for the detection of preclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in a large community-based cohort.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore the prognostic significance of PTT and PBVi using an automated, inline method of estimation using CMR.
