Despite its high incidence and mortality risk, there is no evidence-based treatment for non-ischaemic cardiogenic shock (CS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the use mechanical circulatory support (MCS) CS treatment.In multicentre, international, retrospective study, data from 890 patients with CS, defined as due severe de-novo or acute-on-chronic heart failure need urgent revascularization, treated without active MCS, were collected. association between MCS primary endpoint 30-day...
Aims Heart failure‐related cardiogenic shock (HF‐CS) accounts for a significant proportion of CS cases. Whether patients with de novo HF and those acute‐on‐chronic in differ clinical characteristics outcome remains unclear. The aim this study was to evaluate differences presentation mortality between HF‐CS. Methods results In international observational study, HF‐CS from 16 tertiary care centres five countries were enrolled 2010 2021. To investigate 30‐day mortality, adjusted logistic/Cox...
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a key parameter in evaluating left (LV) function using echocardiography (Echo), but its manual measurement by the modified biplane Simpson (MBS) method time consuming and operator dependent. We investigated feasibility of server-based, commercially available ready-to use-artificial intelligence (AI) application based on convolutional neural network methods that integrate fully automatic view selection LVEF from an entire Echo exam into single...
BackgroundLeft ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measurement in echocardiography (Echo) using the recommended modified biplane Simpson (MBS) method is operator-dependent and exhibits variability. We aimed to assess accuracy of a novel fully automated (Auto) artificial intelligence (AI) view selection LVEF calculation compared MBS-Echo, with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) as reference.MethodsEach 301 consecutive patients underwent CMR Echo on same day. was measured independently...
Abstract Background Heart failure–related cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) accounts for a significant proportion of all CS cases. Nevertheless, there is lack evidence on sex-related differences in HF-CS, especially regarding use treatment and mortality risk women vs. men. This study aimed to investigate potential clinical presentation, treatments, between men with HF-CS. Methods In this international observational study, patients HF-CS (without acute myocardial infarction) from 16 tertiary-care...
Abstract Background Currently, use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in non-ischaemic cardiogenic shock (CS) is predominantly guided by shock-specific markers, and not markers cardiac function. We hypothesise that left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) can identify patients with a higher likelihood to benefit from MCS thus help optimise their expected benefit. Methods Patients CS available data on LVEF 16 tertiary-care centres five countries were analysed. Cox regression models...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Evaluation right ventricle (RV) function has clinical value when investigating patients with symptomatic heart failure. However, the assessment RV using two-dimensional echocardiography (Echo) is operator-dependent and time-consuming. Technological advances have enabled use artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithms for functional analysis high reproducibility, facilitated by manufacturer-neutral platform. Purpose...
Abstract Background Metastatic tumours, notably lung cancer, can cause conditions resembling acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs), contributing to the minor percentage of AMIs unrelated coronary atherosclerosis. These instances necessitate specialized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches due distinct underlying pathology. Case summary We report a case 65-year-old male with metastatic cancer presenting prolonged angina pectoris. Elevated troponin creatine kinase levels led emergency...
Abstract Background Interventional treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (pAF) presents a challenge due to the lack clear evidence on adjunctive strategies beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). One promising approach is ablation left low voltage zones, which has been shown improve outcomes in patients with pAF. However, reliable assessment endocardial requires sinus rhythm (SR). In significant proportion however, restoration (SR) cannot be achieved. These may lead extensive ablations...
Abstract Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) enhances the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function beyond ejection fraction (EF) in 2D echocardiography (Echo). However, manual GLS measurement, most common technique, is operator dependent. A novel vendor-independent artificial intelligence (AI)-based software streamlines automated 2D-Echo exam evaluation and calculation. Purpose We sought to evaluate ability AI automatically identify LV 4-, 2-, 3-chamber views (CV) from exams...
To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of artificial intelligence (AI) in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) analysis as compared to conventional (Manual) semi-automated (SemiAuto) method echocardiography (Echo).
Abstract Background/Introduction Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is regarded as the reference method in assessing left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). However, 2-dimensional echocardiography (2D-Echo) most frequently used technique due to availability and practicability. The interpretation of 2D-Echo examinations depends on user's expertise may vary between different operators. A novel vendor-independent software based artificial intelligence (AI) performs both, automated...
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as a vital imaging modality in cardiac electrophysiological studies (EPS) and structural heart interventions, offering real-time visualization of structures improved procedural guidance.
Abstract Background/Introduction Two-dimensional echocardiography (Echo) is a feasible method for assessing left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) in daily practice. However, the interpretation of Echo exams depends on user's expertise and may vary between different operators. A novel, vendor-neutral artificial intelligence (AI) performs both, automated evaluation calculations biplane LV EF one workflow.
