Article Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions for many steps of the cardiac imaging workflow, from patient and test selection through image acquisition, reconstruction, and interpretation, extending to prognostication and reporting. Despite the development of many cardiac imaging AI algorithms, AI tools are at various stages of development and face challenges for clinical implementation. This scientific statement, endorsed by several societies in the field, provides an overview of the current landscape and challenges of AI applications in cardiac CT and MRI. Each section is organized into questions and statements that address key steps of the cardiac imaging workflow, including ethical, legal, and environmental sustainability considerations. A technology readiness level range of 1 to 9 summarizes the maturity level of AI tools and reflects the progression from preliminary research to clinical implementation. This document aims to bridge the gap between burgeoning research developments and limited clinical applications of AI tools in cardiac CT and MRI.

Perinatal stroke is a vascular injury occurring early in life, often resulting in motor deficits (hemiplegic cerebral palsy/HCP). Comorbidities may also include poor neuropsychological outcomes, such as deficits in memory. Previous studies have used resting state functional MRI (fMRI) to demonstrate that functional connectivity (FC) within hippocampal circuits is associated with memory function in typically developing controls (TDC) and in adults after stroke, but this is unexplored in perinatal stroke.

Objectives: Patients with connective tissue diseases (CTD) have a high incidence of cardiac involvement, which often presents insidiously and can progress rapidly, making it one of the leading causes of death. Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of myocardial injury and is emerging as a valuable tool for detecting cardiac involvement in CTD. This study aims to investigate the correlations between CMR features and serological biomarkers in CTD patients, assess their potential clinical value, and further explore the impact of pre-CMR immunotherapy intensity on CMR-specific parameters, thereby evaluating the role of CMR in the early diagnosis of CTD-related cardiac involvement.

Aims: Skeletal muscle energetic augmentation might be a mechanism via which intravenous iron improves symptoms in heart failure, but no direct measurement of intrinsic mitochondrial function has been performed to support this notion. This molecular substudy of the FERRIC-HF II trial tested the hypothesis that ferric derisomaltose (FDI) would improve electron transport chain activity, given its high dependence on iron-sulfur clusters which facilitate electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation.

Methods And Results: Vastus lateralis skeletal muscle biopsies were taken before and 2 weeks after randomization.

Background: Automated cardiac MR segmentation enables accurate and reproducible ventricular function assessment in Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), whereas manual segmentation remains time-consuming and variable.

Purpose: To evaluate the deep learning (DL)-based models for automatic left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), and LV myocardium segmentation in ToF, compared with manual reference standard annotations.

Study Type: Retrospective.
