Increasing and Evolving Role of Smart Devices in Modern Medicine
Author(s): Michael R Massoomi , Eileen M Handberg Added: 3 years ago
Today is an age of rapid digital integration. A decade ago, technological advancement was represented by a bulky desktop computer. With the constant evolution of microprocessors and sophistication of programming, the capacity of the mainframe has been surpassed and miniaturised, so that the pinnacle of technology and innovation is quite literally in the palm of our hands. This opens a world of… View more

AHA 23: Screening for Peripartum Cardiomyopathies Using an AI Enanced Digital Stethoscope
Author(s): Demilade Adedinsewo Added: 5 months ago
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 … View more

Importance of Screening for AF and Hypertension in the Fight Against Stroke
Author(s): Gerhard Hindricks , Faizel Osman , Keitaro Senoo , et al Added: 5 months ago
This video series page covers content associated with Atrial Fibrillation.AFib is associated with a 5x greater risk of stroke, however with effective treatment, the risk of stroke can be reduced.¹ The lifetime risk for AFib is 1 in 3 individuals² and it often occurs with hypertension. Early detection is key, to allow for prompt and satisfactory disease management to not only control symptoms but… View more

Telemedicine (TM) (see Table 1) finds its application most commonly in chronic heart failure (HF).1–3 TM can be useful during exercise training (ET) as a tool to control stability of the clinical status of patients and to supervise training sessions. These goals can be achieved by monitoring clinical symptoms (dyspnoea, fatigue, oedema, chest pain, palpitations, etc.) and monitoring parameters … View more

Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Cardiac Arrhythmias
Author(s): Antoni Martínez-Rubio , Soledad Ascoeta , Fadwa Taibi , et al Added: 3 years ago
In the last months of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, a novel disease appeared, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a very contagious virus, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The clinical manifestations of this virus in humans vary widely from asymptomatic to severe, with diverse symptomatology and even death. The substantial transmission from… View more

EHRA 23: TEMPO-HCM: Extended ECG Monitoring in HCM
Author(s): Juan Caro Codón Added: 1 year ago
EHRA 2023 — Dr Juan Caro Codón (La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, ES) discusses the findings from the TEMPO-HCM study investigating extended ECG monitoring in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. This was a prospective, observational, multicenter trial that included patients with a diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Investigators compared the rate of clinically relevant… View more

Electrocardiograms (ECGs), derived by the transformation of three bipolar quasi-orthogonal leads, have according to EASI lead ECG been introduced for many years for use in emergency situations and for the monitoring of patients during the acute phase of myocardial infarction. Theoretically, a further reduction and simplification of the classic EASI setting of five electrodes may even improve… View more

Author(s): Santo Dellegrottaglie , Pierluigi Costanzo , Stefania Paolillo , et al Added: 3 years ago
In Europe, subjects >65 years of age currently constitute 17% of the entire population, with some variations between countries (see Figure 1).1 More importantly, as a consequence of the ageing population, elderly subjects are expected to account for 30% of the European population by 2050. Currently, cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in Europe (~20% of all causes) and more than… View more

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using combined computed tomography (CT) and single-photon emission CT (SPECT) systems plays an important role in the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).1–4 The method can be used to assess myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function simultaneously. It is an especially valuable tool for assessing short-term risk of CAD, thus… View more
