Article Abstract

An 85-year-old man was admitted with dysarthria. Electrocardiography showed atrial fibrillation and prominent ST-segment elevation in V-V. Multiple acute cerebral infarctions were observed in brain images. Coronary angiography showed total occlusion of the mid left anterior descending artery. After thrombus aspiration, no atherosclerotic changes were observed on intravascular ultrasound.

Background: Final infarct volume (FIV) is a strong predictor of stroke outcomes. Although smaller FIV are associated with better outcomes, many patients fail to achieve functional independence. We aimed to identify poor outcome predictors in patients with anterior large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and had small FIV.

Background: Accurate measurement of echocardiographic parameters is crucial for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and tracking of change over time; however, manual assessment requires time-consuming effort and can be imprecise. Artificial intelligence has the potential to reduce clinician burden by automating the time-intensive task of comprehensive measurement of echocardiographic parameters.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate open-sourced deep learning semantic segmentation models for the automated measurement of 18 anatomic and Doppler measurements in echocardiography.

Background: The effectiveness of ethanol infusion of the vein of Marshall (EIVOM) for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with mitral valve replacement (MVR) remains to be determined.

Objectives: This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of EIVOM in catheter ablation of persistent AF in patients with MVR.

Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study.
