AISAP’s CARDIO AI-powered Diagnostic Assessment Software Receives FDA Clearance

DAIC

We know that structural heart disease and heart failure are the leading causes of hospitalization and morbidity in the U.S. This milestone makes AISAP the first company in the world to secure FDA clearance in the CADx pathway for the comprehensive diagnosis of structural heart diseases using POCUS.

Abstract 4147910: 22q11 Deletion Syndrome: A Potenitial Risk Factor For Left Pulmonary Artery Hypoplasia and Need For Intervention in Patients With Congeital Heart Disease

Circulation

A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts. 0.27, p=0.002) echocardiogram. The most recent echocardiogram showed a reduced LPA to RPA ratio in the 22q11 group, so we suspect that whilst we demonstrated no difference in rates of reintervention, this could change with longer follow up.

Abstract TP274: Challenging the Guidelines or Merely an Observation on Transthoracic Echocardiography

Stroke Journal

There is an elevated risk of thrombus formation and ischemic stroke in Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) has traditionally been the gold standard for LAA clot detection. The yearly prevalence of new stroke is 3-7.5% But it is semi-invasive and have risks.

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device.
