Invasive mapping of ventricular tachycardia (VT) can be time consuming and difficult to perform. A novel cloud- enabled, AI-based analysis was developed to colocalize electrical and scar VT substrate by combining computational source mapping of 12-lead ECG and wall thickness analysis using machine learning models to segment the left ventricular myocardium from CTs.

Continuing aspirin monotherapy for patients with previous drug-eluting stents (DES) who are undergoing low-to-intermediate risk noncardiac surgery did not significantly reduce ischemic events compared with temporarily holding all antiplatelet therapy before the surgery, according to findings from the ASSURE DES trial presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London and simultaneously published in JACC.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are effective at terminating ventricular arrhythmias (VA), though have significant drawbacks. The opportunity to predict the onset of arrhythmia holds promise for insight into VA initiation and the opportunity to deliver therapy prior to an event. We hypothesize that novel features of intracardiac electrogram (EGM) prior to an event could be identified by deep learning to predict the onset of VA.

Biological age, which reflects the underlying senescence of cells, differs from chronological age. We hypothesize that an AI model can predict the heart's biological age by analyzing electrophysiological changes, particularly in the presence of arrhythmias, using fewer than 12 leads. This predicted age can then be juxtaposed against the patient’s chronological age to understand early cardiac aging.
