Clinical Research Shows AI-enabled Digital Stethoscope can Detect Pregnancy-related Heart Disease

DAIC

Researchers used an AI-enabled digital stethoscope that captures electrocardiogram ( ECG ) data and heart sounds to identify twice as many cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy as compared to regular care, according to a news release from the American Heart Association.

Real-world Evidence at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session 2024 Demonstrates Positive Impact of Viz.ai on Suspected Disease Detection and Patient Triage for Improved Care

DAIC

in clinical practice for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a commonly inherited heart disease that often goes undetected. Three studies, presented at the American College of Cardiology ’s ( ACC ) Annual Scientific Session & Expo 2024 , have shown positive outcomes with real-world impact of Viz.ai sensitivity.

What is Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (Broken Heart Syndrome)?

BoardVitals - Cardiovascular

Because it’s the month that houses Valentine’s Day, it is obviously the most appropriate month to share information about takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is commonly known by a few other names as well – stress cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning syndrome, broken heart syndrome, and stress-induced cardiomyopathy.

Model for classification of heart failure severity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using a deep neural network algorithm with a 12-lead electrocardiogram

Open Heart

Objectives In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), specific ECG abnormalities are observed. In addition, the patients were divided into groups according to Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)-12. Therefore, ECG is a valuable screening tool. The model was trained in advance using PTB-XL, which is an open ECG dataset.

PO-03-014 DEEP LEARNING ON THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM TO PREDICT CARDIOMYOPATHY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING NON-CONDUCTION SYSTEM PACING

HeartRhythm

In patients undergoing non-physiologic pacemaker (PM) implantation (eg, RV pacing), cardiomyopathy (CM) may develop - particularly in patients with an elevated pacing burden. In contrast to the current standard of upgrading the pacemaker only once CM develops, a strategy to predict CM before it actually develops would be advantageous.

PO-05-010 NESTED DEEP LEARNING MODEL FOR THE DETECTION OF HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY AND MYOCARDIAL SCARRING THROUGH ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS

HeartRhythm

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a prevalence of 1 in 500 people and highly increases the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Diagnosis is typically based on the Echocardiogram, while cardiac MRI is used for detection of myocardial scarring through Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE), an important risk marker for SCD.
