In honor of World Heart Day on September 29, we're diving into the world of cardiovascular diagnostics. Echocardiography, one of the most widely used screening and diagnostic modalities in healthcare, has seen a resurgence thanks to advances and groundbreaking innovations within the last few years. Join us as we explore the top trends shaping these diagnostic methods. 1. ...
Ultromics will be sharing its groundbreaking AI research and innovation at the American Society of Echocardiography’s annual Scientific Sessions. ASE’s Foundations and the Future of Cardiovascular Ultrasound sessions bring together echo professionals and enthusiasts from across forty-five countries with a selection of networking events, seminars, and workshops from the top minds in ...
Preliminary results of a large-scale study demonstrating the clinical benefits of EchoGo® Heart Failure were shared at the American College of Cardiology (ACC 2023) conference last month. Using only an apical four-chamber ultrasound view, this new AI-enabled platform can identify heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and has been shown to minimize the indeterminate ...
Heart failure affects about 6.2 million Americans and is rising in prevalence. With half of these cases presenting as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), it’s essential for both the medical community and the population at large to have a better understanding of its pathology. [1,2] Knowing the differences between HFpEF and its counterpart, heart failure with reduced ...
Only 50% of patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction on an echocardiogram are symptomatic. Symptoms and signs of HF are either too nonspecific or too infrequent, which makes the clinical diagnosis of HF challenging with [14] Imaging Echocardiography remains the main evaluation for HFpEF and provides essential information to estimate elevated LV filling pressure. ...
Recent clinical trials investigating sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have highlighted that this drug is highly effective in treating patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF is a complex disease which accounts for more than half of all heart failure (HF) hospital admissions and is an increasing disease burden. [1] The prevalence of HFpEF is ...
A postnatal diagnosis of valvar pulmonary stenosis with supra-systemic RV pressures was confirmed via echocardiogram. The following day he was brought to the cardiac catheterization lab where he underwent a balloon dilation of the pulmonary valve. ...
Background Several pioneering studies have provided evidence for the introduction of universal pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart disease. I lowever, whether the benefits of screening reported in studies from high-income countries would translate with similar success to low-income countries is unknown. We assessed the feasibility and reliability of pulse oximetry plus clinical ...
A number of cardiac tests may be used to make a diagnosis, including non-invasive methods such as X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), echocardiograms (EKG), electrocardiogram (ECG) and genetic testing, or minimally invasive procedures, such as cardiac catheterization. ...
In-vivo Evaluation Of A Novel Surgical Heart Valve Prosthesis Designed To Be Durable, Anticoagulant-free And Silent. Bart Meuris, Lucas Van Hoof, Wilm Decré, Marie Lamberigts, Tom Langenaeken, Peter Verbrugghe. KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. OBJECTIVE: Heart valves prostheses still face limitations: reoperations with tissue valves or lifelong anticoagulation with mechanical valves. The ...
