Abstract
Heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HF-PEF), sometimes named diastolic heart failure, is a common condition most frequently seen in the elderly and is associated with arterial hypertension and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Symptoms are attributed to a stiff left ventricle with compensatory elevation of filling pressure and reduced ability to increase…

Imaging has played an instrumental role in the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of cardiovascular diseases. Arterial Doppler ultrasound, echocardiography, myocardial perfusion imaging tests and angiography are now part of everyday clinical practice and represent a cornerstone of atherosclerosis management.1 During the past two decades, there has been an expansion of the available imaging…

ESC Congress 22 — In this short interview filmed onsite at ESC 2022, we are joined by Dr Geoff Strange (The University of Notre Dame, AU) to discuss a new artificial intelligence technology that can be used to diagnose severe aortic stenoses.
In this study, the efficacy of the technology was evaluated across 530,871 Echocardiograms from the NEDA Study.
Questions:
What is the importance of…
