BackgroundCongenital heartdisease (CHD) is a major contributor to morbidity and infant mortality and imposes the highest burden on global healthcare costs. Most studies utilized deep learning models using either ultrasound or echocardiographic images.
Cardiovascular ultrasound has played a key role in the evolution of early diagnosis of structural heartdisease, led by a technology pioneered by Philips: the ‘transesophageal echocardiography’ (TEE) ultrasound transducer. In structural heartdisease, the quality of a 3D TEE image can help save lives.
Image courtesy: Philips christine.book Wed, 06/12/2024 - 14:07 June 12, 2024 — Royal Philips has announced its next-generation AI-enabled cardiovascular ultrasound platform to help speed up cardiac ultrasound analysis with proven AI technology and reduce the burden on echocardiography labs.
Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has approved DEFINITY (Perflutren Lipid Microsphere) as an ultrasound enhancing agent for use in pediatric patients with suboptimal echocardiograms, including those who have undergone heart transplant, or have Kawasaki disease or a congenital cardiovascular anomaly.
Zeke and Zane were both diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) before birth. As far as congenitalheartdiseases go, HLHS falls on the rarer end of the spectrum. The Heart Institute collaborates with the CFCC through the Fetal Cardiology Program.
Congenitalheartdisease is a prevalent birth defect, accounting for approximately one-third of major birth defects. In response, we have released a dataset containing 828 DICOM chest x-ray files from children with diagnosed congenitalheartdisease, alongside corresponding cardiac ultrasound reports.
Cardiac device therapy is frequently required for individuals with adult congenitalheartdisease (ACHD), whether it be for bradyarrhythmia, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
Ultrasound techniques currently used in echocardiography uses frame rates from 30-150 frames/s. This limits its temporal resolution for very short lived events, especially in pediatric and congenitalheartdisease with faster heart rates compared to adults [1]. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2024 Jan 2;83(1):63-81.
This year’s program, “Global Echocardiography: Innovations in Diagnosis and Beyond,” is described as an educational experience gathering global experts and enthusiasts in echocardiography, hosted by the largest global organization for cardiovascular ultrasound imaging serving physicians, sonographers, nurses, and scientists.
Purpose This study aims to evaluate deep learning (DL) denoising reconstructions for image quality improvement of Doppler ultrasound (DUS)-gated fetal cardiac MRI in congenitalheartdisease (CHD). Cine imaging was acquired using a balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence with Doppler ultrasound gating.
Background Axillary arterial access (AAA) in pediatric heart catheterizations is undervalued. Methods We retrospectively reviewed children with congenitalheartdiseases (CHDs) who received trans-axillary arterial catheterizations between January 2019 and February 2023.
We describe a fetus with prenatal echocardiographic findings of BDA and right aortic arch mirror-image branching (RAA-MIB) combined with congenitalheartdisease. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of BDA is important and requires a combination of 2D grayscale, CDFI, and STIC images to assist in scanning.
A bedside cardiac ultrasound was normal. The P wave is positive in lead aVL of ECG #3, which means it is a low atrial (or probably coronary sinus) rhythm — which of itself is not necessarily “abnormal” in a child if there is no other sign of underlying heartdisease. His chest was tender. He wrote: "ECG 1 - shows wide ???IVCD
Introduction:Dextrocardia is a rare congenital condition where the heart's apex points to the right, with an incidence of about 0.01%. Patients usually have a normal life expectancy unless other structural heartdiseases are present. An intravascular ultrasound was also performed, which was negative for vessel dissection.
Broadly speaking there are 3 things that can go wrong with the heart. The heart is a pump and that pump may be faulty either due to congenital problem or an acquired problem. This is an ultrasound (a bit like the type that we use on pregnant women to look at the baby).
During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. Echoes received by the transducer from various structures of the heart are analysed by the echocardiograph and a graphical representation displayed on the monitor. This view images the heart from the base to apex long axis view.
A bedside cardiac ultrasound was performed with a parasternal long axis view demonstrated below: There is a large pericardial effusion with collapse of the right ventricle during systole. The beat-to-beat variation in QRS amplitude and morphology is electrical alternans. This patient is only pseudo-stable. She has already had syncope.
