In patients with severe left ventricle hypertrophy and aortic stenosis, the presence of intraventricular gradient should always be investigated. Its prompt recognition enables a precise diagnosis and safe treatment of both conditions. We report 2 cases demonstrating a successful and novel approach to this clinical situation.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe form of stroke with high mortality and disability, where early hematoma expansion (HE) critically influences prognosis. Previous studies suggest that revised hematoma expansion (rHE), defined to include intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) growth, provides improved prognostic accuracy. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a deep learning model based on noncontrast CT (NCCT) to predict high-risk rHE in ICH patients, enabling timely intervention.

Treadmill exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) is both feasible and safe in the pediatric population. Although regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs) have limited diagnostic utility, Doppler studies frequently demonstrate significant intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPGs) during exercise. These IVPGs, which were observed in 39% of 258 previously studied adolescents, are absent at rest.

To preliminarily explore the relationship between intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPG) measured by ultrasound hemodynamic analysis and left ventricular cardiotoxicity after anthracycline chemotherapy. This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who completed 6 cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2014 to 2015 were included.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disease characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy, myocyte disarray, and interstitial fibrosis. A dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is present in approximately two-thirds of patients, and is typically associated with systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. A distinct subgroup exhibits mid-ventricular obstruction, frequently associated with apical aneurysm and a higher risk of sudden cardiac death.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and assess an advanced Attention-Based Residual U-Net (ResUNet) model for accurately segmenting different types of brain hemorrhages from CT images. The goal was to overcome the limitations of manual segmentation and current automated methods regarding precision and generalizability.
Materials And Methods: A dataset of 1,347 patient CT scans was collected retrospectively, covering six types of hemorrhages: subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH, 231 cases), subdural hematoma (SDH, 198 cases), epidural hematoma (EDH, 236 cases), cerebral contusion (CC, 230 cases), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH, 188 cases), and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH, 264 cases).
