Cardiology

The heart must go on: The spectrum of cardiological diseases ranges from arrhythmias to valve defects to heart attacks. However, the diagnostic means and the forms of therapy with intervention, surgery and medication are just as diverse. Read more about this affair of the heart here.

News • Prediction of regurgitant valvular heart diseases

AI identifies hidden heart valve defects from a patient’s ECG

A new AI tool has been shown to accurately predict who would go on to develop leaks in the heart valves – conditions known as regurgitant valvular heart diseases, at a very early stage from an ECG.

AI-enhanced ultrasound early detects cardiac amyloidosis

A neural network AI has been trained to detect cardiac amyloidosis from a single echocardiogram video of the heart's apical four-chamber view and differentiate it from similar heart conditions.

Predicting sudden cardiac arrest with MAARS

Analyzing heart imaging and a full spectrum of medical records, a new AI tool can reveal previously hidden information about a patient’s heart health, including predictions of sudden cardiac arrest.

Better MRI scans of beating hearts with AI

An AI-assisted model can take low-quality MRI heart scans and turn them into high quality images, while reducing the time needed to scan the heart by about 90%.

Carotid Plaques Evolve Dangerously Over Time in Asymptomatic Patients

MRI study of 802 patients shows carotid plaques become more complex over six years, with calcified plaques twice as likely to develop dangerous internal bleeding.

Nuclear cardiology – a nuclear perspective on matters of the heart

Nuclear cardiology is a specialised field in nuclear medicine that evaluates the heart function to help diagnosing conditions such as coronary artery disease and to assess treatment efficacy, whilst minimising invasive procedures like biopsies. More recently, clinicians have increasingly opted for nuclear imaging over endomyocardial biopsy to diagnose cardiac amyloidosis, allowing for earlier…
