A portable heart scanner which uses breakthrough artificial intelligence is solving reproducibility and repeatability issues in echocardiography, enabling clinicians to diagnose heart failure more quickly whilst also shortening exam times.
Renowned cardiologists say that as well as helping to save time - enabling them to see more patients and reducing waiting times - it tackles the long…

Today, in cardiology, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common presentations in hospitals. Usually, the history and presenting features of ACS are very typical. However, some patients have an atypical presentation, which can pose a problem for prompt diagnosis and management, leading to an overall increase in morbidity and mortality in such patients.

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that results from a structural or functional cardiac abnormality. The prevalence of heart failure is likely to increase as the population ages and survival rates following myocardial infarction continue to improve.1 Morbidity and mortality rates are significant and relate to high healthcare costs in terms of hospital admissions and long-term care.2…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure and mortality.1 Following increased therapeutic options for AF, an update in guidelines for management of AF has been published. A symposium, chaired by Karl- Heinz Kuck, Hamburg, Germany, was held at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress in Paris on the 2nd September…

Abstract
Cardiac paragangliomas are the rarest primary cardiac tumours and account for less than one percent of cases. A 24-year-old man presented with complaints of sudden onset of chest pain. The pain started suddenly when he was skiing halfway down the slope and went into a tuck position. Physical examination was significant for elevated jugular venous distension. His electrocardiogram…

The investigation of chest pain involves more than determining coronary anatomy. Discussions about whether non-invasive imaging might replace coronary angiography for the display of coronary anatomy must not detract from the fact that clinical assessment and dynamic functional imaging by echocardiography or nuclear imaging are at least equally important. Often, the need for imaging coronary…

Pathophysiology of COVID-19-related Cardiac Injury
Acute myocarditis is a potentially life-threatening disease, which is most commonly caused by a viral infection. Among the viruses, the most cited are enteroviruses (especially coxsackievirus), adenovirus and parvovirus B19 and, rarely, coronavirus.
Recently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory…

AHA 23 - We are joined by Dr Demilade Adedinsewo (Mayo Clinic, US) to discuss the findings from a study investigating the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence-enabled ECG (AI-ECG) for cardiomyopathy detection in an obstetric population.In the intervention arm, the digital stethoscope correctly identified 92% of those with ejection fraction <50% and 100% of those with ejection fraction …

Contrast echocardiography has become an indispensable tool in non-invasive imaging. In the last decade new contrast agents and contrast-specific imaging technologies have simplified the clinical use of contrast agents and dramatically improved the images acquired. However, there is a price to pay: extra time, the costs of the agent and a small risk of intolerance reactions. Significant…
