Acute breathlessness with frank hemoptysis following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, a cause not so obvious.
(2019-05)All clinicians prescribing amiodarone require knowledge of the challenging diagnosis and management of amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity (APT), which is potentially fatal. APT should be considered early in all patients ... -
Short- versus Long-term Dual Anti-platelet Therapy (DAPT) in Secondary Prevention for Ischaemic Stroke – A Network Metanalysis
(Oxford University Press (OUP) on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology, 2019-05-03)Aim: This review aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of short-term (=< 3 months) and long-term (>=1 year) dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in secondary prevention for ischaemic stroke. Methods and results: We ... -
Danish study of Non-Invasive testing in Coronary Artery Disease 2 (Dan-NICAD 2): study design for a controlled study of diagnostic accuracy
(Elsevier, 19-05-01)Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the preferred primary diagnostic modality when examining patients with low to intermediate pre-test probability of coronary artery disease (CAD). Only 20-30% ... -
CardioScape mapping the cardiovascular funding landscape in Europe.
(2018-07-01)Aims: The burden of cardiovascular disease is increasing worldwide, which has to be reflected by cardiovascular (CV) research in Europe. CardioScape, a FP7 funded project initiated by the European Society of Cardiology ... -
High Throughput Computation of Reference Ranges of Biventricular Cardiac Function on the UK Biobank Population Cohort
(Springer, Cham, 2019-02-14)© 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. The exploitation of large-scale population data has the potential to improve healthcare by discovering and understanding patterns and trends within this data. To enable high throughput ... -
Automated quality control in image segmentation: application to the UK Biobank cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study
(BioMed Central, 2019-03-14)Background: The trend towards large-scale studies including population imaging poses new challenges in terms of quality control (QC). This is a particular issue when automatic processing tools such as image segmentation methods ... -
Physical activity and left-ventricular trabeculation in the UK Biobank community-based cohort study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2019-02-05)Objective: Vigorous physical activity (PA) in highly trained athletes has been associated with heightened left ventricular (LV) trabeculation extent. It has therefore been hypothesised that LV trabeculation extent may ... -
Multimodality Imaging in Restrictive Cardiomyopathies: An EACVI expert consensus document In collaboration with the "Working Group on myocardial and pericardial diseases" of the European Society of Cardiology Endorsed by The Indian Academy of Echocardiography
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05-16)Restrictive cardiomyopathies (RCMs) are a diverse group of myocardial diseases with a wide range of aetiologies including familial, genetic, and acquired diseases and ranging from very rare to relatively frequent cardiac ... -
Automated localization and quality control of the aorta in cine CMR can significantly accelerate processing of the UK Biobank population data.
(Public Library of Science, 2019-02-14)INTRODUCTION: Aortic distensibility can be calculated using semi-automated methods to segment the aortic lumen on cine CMR (Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance) images. However, these methods require visual quality control ... -
A radiomics approach to computer-aided diagnosis with cardiac cine-MRI
(Springer Link, 2018-03-15)© Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018. Computer-aided diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with cine-MRI is an important research topic to enable improved stratification of CVD patients. ... -
Independent Left Ventricular Morphometric Atlases Show Consistent Relationships with Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A UK Biobank Study
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-02-04)Left ventricular (LV) mass and volume are important indicators of clinical and pre-clinical disease processes. However, much of the shape information present in modern imaging examinations is currently ignored. Morphometric ...
