Heart disease is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged citizens. Among the vast number of heart diseases, the coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered as a common cardiovascular disease with a high death rate. The most popular…
With tens of thousands of electrocardiogram (ECG) records processed by mobile cardiac event recorders every day, heart rhythm classification algorithms are an important tool for the continuous monitoring of patients at risk. We utilise an…
Echocardiography (echo), or cardiac ultrasound, is the most widely used imaging modality for cardiac form and function due to its relatively low cost, rapid acquisition time, and non-invasive nature. However, ultrasound acquisitions are…
Classification and prediction of heart disease is a significant problem to realize medical treatment and life protection. In this paper, persistent homology is involved to analyze electrocardiograms and a novel heart disease classification…
Objective: Exploit accelerometry data for an automatic, reliable, and prompt detection of spontaneous circulation during cardiac arrest, as this is both vital for patient survival and practically challenging. Methods: We developed a machine…
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are beneficial in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, which are one of the leading causes of death. However, they are often contaminated by noise artifacts and affect the automatic and manual diagnosis…
Precise and effective processing of cardiac imaging data is critical for the identification and management of the cardiovascular diseases. We introduce IntelliCardiac, a comprehensive, web-based medical image processing platform for the…
Mathematical models of the human heart are increasingly playing a vital role in understanding the working mechanisms of the heart, both under healthy functioning and during disease. The aim is to aid medical practitioners diagnose and treat…
Currently, many researchers and analysts are working toward medical diagnosis enhancement for various diseases. Heart disease is one of the common diseases that can be considered a significant cause of mortality worldwide. Early detection…
Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images is essential for reliable diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, manual segmentation remains time-consuming and suffers from…
Electrocardiogram is a useful diagnostic signal that can detect cardiac abnormalities by measuring the electrical activity generated by the heart. Due to its rapid, non-invasive, and richly informative characteristics, ECG has many emerging…
Ejection fraction (EF) is commonly measured by echocardiography, by dividing the volume ejected by the heart (stroke volume) by the volume of the filled heart (end-diastolic volume). Utilizing volume changes of left myocardial segments per…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death worldwide. While there is growing evidence that the atrial fibrillation (AF) has strong associations with various CVDs, this heart arrhythmia is usually diagnosed using…
We present a method for unsupervised segmentation of echocardiograms (echo). The method uses an iterative Dijkstra's algorithm, a strategic node selection, and a novel cost matrix formulation based on intensity peak prominence and is thus…
The cardiologist's main tool for measuring systolic heart failure is left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Trained cardiologist's report both a visual and machine-guided measurement of LVEF, but only use this machine-guided measurement…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmias that affects the lives of more than 3 million people in the U.S. and over 33 million people around the world and is associated with a five-fold increased risk of…
Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a top reason of mortality worldwide. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating patient-specific Multi-slice CT scans into CAD models and employing a one-dimensional numerical framework to…
Focused transmits are the most commonly used transmit strategy for echocardiograms, but suffer from relatively low frame rates, and in 3D, even lower volume rates. Fast imaging based on unfocused transmits has disadvantages such as motion…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality globally, and echocardiography is critical for diagnosis of both common and congenital cardiac conditions. However, echocardiographic data for certain pathologies are…
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable tool for medical diagnosis used worldwide. Its use has contributed significantly to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases including infarctions. Although physicians need to see the printed curves…
