Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating, neurodegenerative disorder that affects nearly one million people. It's hallmark signs and symptoms include slow movements, rigidity, tremor, unstable posture. Additionally, non-motor such as sleeplessness, depression, cognitive impairment, impulse control behaviors (ICB) have been reported. Today, treatment regimens to modify progression do not exist such, focused on symptom relief. physicians are challenged base their diagnoses plans unreliable...
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a useful but operator-dependent tool for left atrial (LA) anatomical rendering during fibrillation (AF) ablation. The CARTOSOUND FAM Module, new deep learning (DL) imaging algorithm, has the potential to overcome this limitation. This study aims evaluate feasibility of algorithm compared cardiac computed tomography (CT) in patients undergoing AF ablation.In 28 ablation, baseline patient information was recorded, and three-dimensional (3D) shells LA body...
Key Findings▪The article describes rationale of improvements on imaging during catheter ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion procedures, when using 4D ICE technology in comparison to 2D TEE.▪Procedures provide volumetric data compared a "single slice" ultrasound as with the standard catheters. This has previously only been available TEE necessitating general anesthesia.▪This new allows for more comprehensive yet faster structure demarcation map creation decreased manipulation thereby...
