It is a Tuesday morning in February. The roads are slick with ice, the wind is howling, and your 8:00 AM patient is an 82-year-old with heart failure and mobility issues. Ten years ago, that appointment would have been a cancellation. The patient stays home to…
Spatial variations in the electrical properties of cardiac tissue can occur because of cardiac diseases. We introduce such gradients into mathematical models for cardiac tissue and then study, by extensive numerical simulations, their effects on reen...
Cardiac image segmentation is an important step in many cardiac image analysis and modeling tasks such as motion tracking or simulations of cardiac mechanics. While deep learning has greatly advanced segmentation in clinical settings, there is limite...
Fully Convolutional Multi-scale Residual DenseNets for Cardiac Segmentation and Automated Cardiac Diagnosis using Ensemble of Classifiers (⭐ 64)
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging is commonly used for the assessment of the cardiac anatomy and function. The delineations of left and right ventricle blood pools and left ventricular myocardium are important for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases....
Segmentation of the heart in cardiac cine MR is clinically used to quantify cardiac function. We propose a fully automatic method for segmentation and disease classification using cardiac cine MR images. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was desig...
Cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the important means to assess cardiac functions and vascular abnormalities. Mitigating artifacts arising during image reconstruction and accelerating cardiac cine MRI acquisition to obtain high-...
Cardiac Arrest (⭐ 6)
Spiral waves of excitation in cardiac tissue are associated with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. It is, therefore, important to study the electrophysiological factors that affect the dynamics of these spiral waves. By using an electrophysiologi...
typical cardiac rehabilitation setting, the patient is cared for by a team of professionals that is typically led by a cardiologist. In home-based cardiac rehabilitation
Accurate delineation of the left ventricle (LV) is an important step in evaluation of cardiac function. In this paper, we present an automatic method for segmentation of the LV in cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) scans. Segmentation is performed in two...
CARDIAC definition: 1. of the heart or heart disease: 2. a cardiac arrest (= a heart attack): 3. of the heart or…. Learn more.
In this work, we attempt the segmentation of cardiac structures in late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) magnetic resonance images (MRI) using only minimal supervision in a two-step approach. In the first step, we register a small set of five LGE cardiac ma...
The meaning of CARDIAC is of, relating to, situated near, or acting on the heart. How to use cardiac in a sentence.
We propose four novel mathematical models, describing the microscopic mechanisms of force generation in the cardiac muscle tissue, which are suitable for multiscale numerical simulations of cardiac electromechanics. Such models are based on a biophys...
Cardiac nursing is a nursing specialty that works with patients who have various conditions of the cardiovascular system. Cardiac nurses help treat conditions
1. pertaining to the heart. 2. pertaining to the ostium cardiacum. cardiac arrest sudden and often unexpected stoppage of effective heart action.
