Background: Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) alone or combined with adjuvant substrate modifications is unsatisfactory for atrial fibrillation (AF) control in nonparoxysmal AF patients. Ablation targeting the fibrotic areas after CPVI (STABLE-SR [Electrophysiological Substrate Left Atrium During Sinus Rhythm]) a newly evolved modification strategy. Methods and Results: In this multicenter, randomized clinical trial, 229 symptomatic patients were 1:1 to STABLE-SR group (n=114)...
Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system characterized by widespread demyelination, axonal loss and gliosis, neurodegeneration; susceptibility‐weighted imaging (SWI), through use phase information to enhance local susceptibility or T2* contrast, relatively new simple MRI application that can directly image cerebral veins exploiting venous blood oxygenation. Here, we high‐field SWI at 3.0 Tesla 15 patients with clinically definite relapsing‐remitting MS...
ABSTRACT In clinical practice, particularly in neurology assessments, imaging multiparametric MR images with a single‐sequence scan is often limited by either insufficient contrast or the constraints of accelerated techniques. A novel single 3D method, incorporating Wave‐CAIPI and MULTIPLEX technologies named WAMP, has been developed for rapid comprehensive parametric diagnostic applications. Featuring hybrid design that includes wave encoding, CAIPIRINHA sampling pattern, dual time...
The hierarchical fast learning artificial neural network (HieFLANN) is a clustering NN that can be initialized using statistical properties of the data set. This provides possibility constructing entire autonomously with no manual intervention. distinguishes it from many existing networks that, though hierarchically plausible, still require initialization processes. unique system begins reduction high-dimensional feature space into smaller and manageable ones. process involves K-iterations...
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of performing single breathhold three‐dimensional (3D) thoracic noncontrast MR angiography (NC‐MRA) using highly accelerated parallel imaging. Materials and Methods: We developed a NC MRA pulse sequence balanced steady state free precession (SSFP) readout In 17 subjects, was compared against electrocardiogram‐triggered contrast‐enhanced MRA. Anonymized images were randomized for blinded review by two independent readers image quality, artifact...
This paper studied the alterations in arterial stiffness and hemodynamic responses during resting state immediately following acute cycling intervention at different times across 12-week supervised exercise training. Twenty-six sedentary young males participated training program moderate intensity. Arterial variables of right common carotid artery were measured computed weeks 0, 4, 8, 12. Across training, was decreased 8 12 improved week state. In response to intervention, exhibited an...
The capacity of the deep learning ReconNet3D model for single-channel image reconstruction with highly under-sampled k-spaces is demonstrated. Without need coil sensitivity information, proposed method can achieve an acceleration factor 4 on a dual-channel VTC coil. Supporting high-factor limited channels be very beneficial imaging surface coils or preclinical animal scans.
Background Evaluation of myocardial function with MRI is challenging on patients impaired breath-hold (BH) capabilities or arrhythmias due to the difficulty respiratory motion suspension and synchronization cardiac cycles. Compressed sensing (CS) enables free breathing (FB) real-time cine imaging improved spatiotemporal resolution, but conventional temporal sparsifying transforms do not account for motion, which limits its performance. In this work, we propose acquire data continuously in FB...
OBJECTIVES:To investigate the association between diastolic function and different beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure due to causes.METHODS: The 104 enrolled were divided into an ischemic cardiomyopathy group (n=27) a nonischemic (n=77) according cause failure.Before implantation, left ventricular was evaluated all using echocardiography.After six months followup, combination clinical symptoms echocardiography parameters.RESULTS: included...
Creatine (Cr) is an essential metabolite in the creatine kinase reaction, which plays a critical role maintaining normal cardiac function. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI offers novel way to map myocardium Cr. This study aims investigate dynamic alteration Cr during acute infarction using CEST MRI, may facilitate understanding of heart remodeling mechanism at molecular level. Seven adult Bama pigs underwent cine, CEST, and late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) T1 -weighted (T1 w)...

Time series forecasting remains a critical challenge across various domains, often complicated by high-dimensional data and long-term dependencies. This paper presents novel transformer architecture for time forecasting, incorporating two key innovations: parameter sharing (PS) Spatial-Temporal Segment Attention (SegAtt). We also define the segment as concatenation of sequence patches from same positions different variables. The proposed model, PSformer, reduces number training parameters...
To investigate the long-term effect of biventricular (BIV) and right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing on cardiac function in patients with high-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) left ejection fraction(LVEF)over 35%.A total 118 consecutive AVB six hospitals from East China between May 2009 December 2012 were enrolled this randomized, double-blind parallel controlled study. Patients randomly assigned to BIV RVA or without LV lead after one-week resynchronization therapy (CRT). Cardiac...
Real-time cardiac cine MRI does not require ECG gating in the data acquisition and is more useful for patients who can hold their breaths or have abnormal heart rhythms. However, to achieve fast image acquisition, real-time commonly acquires highly undersampled data, which imposes a significant challenge reconstruction. We propose residual convolutional RNN To best of our knowledge, this first work applying deep learning approach Cartesian Based on evaluation from radiologists, model shows...
Introduction Whole heart coronary MRA (CMRA) is typically performed with navigator gating because of the extensive data acquisition needed to achieve an isotropic spatial resolution on order 1-2 mm3 full anatomic coverage (10-16 cm). Previous studies have shown that whole CMRA can be either a single [1] or double [2,3] breath-hold (BH) approach using highlyaccelerated parallel imaging. The acquires coil sensitivity immediately before and after within same cardiac cycle, whereas BH in...
