In the 1st longitudinal prospective study ever, wall shear stress by 4D #WhyCMR predicted co-localised progressive ascending aorta dilation rate in patients with non-dysfunctional #bicuspid aortic valve. Brief 🧵summarising the findings. From @jaccjournals jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

suggesting 4Dflow-derived hemodynamics may become a therapeutic target and permit the optimization of aortic interventions. Larger studies and long FU are needed! Full-text sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Big thanks to the patients, authors, reviewers, @VHIR_ @vallhebron and funders!

certain downstream fluid dynamics characteristics to physiological levels, with no impact on stiffness. Results also show that the changes in aortic tortuosity consequent to surgery may modulate the hemodynamics changes. It makes me think of @HEARTinMagnet et al review... (2/3)

Pts with #Marfan or #Loeys-Dietz syndrome who underwent root replacement are at high risk of distal aortic events, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. In this prospective study including pre- and post-#4Dflow #WhyCMR valve-sparing root replacement partially restores.. (1/3)

@BecariosFLC @chateauform @FundlaCaixa It has been a pleasure to spend few days with all these wonderful colleagues, sharing experiences and tips, and moments of relax! Thanks to the organisers and the host!

🤩 Esta semana, los #becariosFundlaCaixa de posdoctorado Junior Leader 2022 han vivido su 2º annual gathering en el Campus La Mola de @chateauform. 3 días llenos de actividades para impulsar sus carreras y habilidades de liderazgo. Descubre algunos de los mejores momentos. 👇📸

@DataTools4Heart @amsterdamumc @athenaRICinfo @BSC_CNS @escardio @ESCardioNews @ESC_Journals @Lynkeus_Rome @PanettaLawFirm @regionstockholm @ucl Fantastic team at SRDC, a pleasure to work together!

The SRDC is developing a universal data language, a sort of 'lingua franca', which can be called the #CommonDataModel for heart failure research. This helps to bring together different types of #healthdata in a common, harmonised format for research and analysis.

Aortic diameter and its growth are key for the clinical management of aortic aneurysms Guideline-recommended method is subjective, poorly reproducible, and time-consuming We presented an innovative image analysis method substantially outperforming current standard #whycmr

@cristianizquie @oscarcamararey @CarlosMartnIsl1 Congratulations!!

@JulioChirinosMd @NAASociety @thaiscoutinhoCV @GaryPie09 @ArterySociety Congratulations!!

False lumen thrombus presence and extent in chronic aortic dissection of the descending aorta is related to local flow characteristics, particularly blood kinetic energy. This non-invasive measure may be important to personalize patient management. Read @ rdcu.be/dvk9C

@DataTools4Heart @EU_Commission @UniBarcelona What a pity to be able to participate only online!! ;(

Here we are! Our 1st year Consortium meeting is beginning, #cappadocia. #heart #AI #data #science #innovation @EU_Commission @UniBarcelona

Esteemed colleagues from the @PoliTOnews and @unito are looking for a PhD candidate to work on the association between atrial fibrillation and cognitive decline via mathematical models of the cerebral circulation.

📢 We are looking for challenge organizers focusing on African data and clinical needs for the first MICCAI conference in Africa 💻 Join us for the informational meeting on Sep 20, 2pm (CEST/UTC+2). Contact @Vic_vec. Please, RT. @MICCAI_Society @KarimLekadir @ja_schnabel

@David_Ouyang @kayzayai @milos_ai @yuanneal @CedarsSinaiMed @SmidtHeart @LorenzoRighett7 In you fantastic trial (congrats, impressive) the spread of Inter-observer variation in EF seems to me much lower.

@David_Ouyang @kayzayai @milos_ai @yuanneal @CedarsSinaiMed @SmidtHeart @LorenzoRighett7 Thanks for engaging. My question was about the distribution of the difference in EF between AI and the report. You report a mean, which may inform of bias, but not on the spread (SD, IQR, 95%CI, any of them), which informs, IMO, about the reliability of the prediction.

📢Excited to announce EchoCLIP, or vision-language foundation #AI model for #echofirst interpretation. Using over 1,000,000 cardiac ultrasound videos paired with expert cardiologist interpretations, we enable #echofirst semantic search and zero-shot predictions. EchoCLIP can zero-shot assess LVEF (MAE 7.1% on external validation), identify ICD, TAVR, MitraClip, and more! 1/🧵

@David_Ouyang @kayzayai @milos_ai @yuanneal @CedarsSinaiMed @SmidtHeart @LorenzoRighett7 Other important information to understand the performance would be the number of patients with the diseases to be predicted in the testing set. How many pts had prior mitraclip, TAVR, pacemaker, or had heart failure, dilated LV and LA? What were the sens., spec., NPV and PPV?

@David_Ouyang @kayzayai @milos_ai @yuanneal @CedarsSinaiMed @SmidtHeart @LorenzoRighett7 Congratulations! Just a question, what is the spread of the predictions of EF? From the figure it seems substantial and likely large then inter-observer reproducibility or scan-rescan variation, but the report only includes mean error and mean error with bootstrapping.
