Great job by @MRawlani8 showing that deep learning can distinguish between bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves, aiding clinicians with challenging clinical images
The new Guidelines for the Management of Valvular Heart Disease were just presented at the ESC Congress in Madrid! 🎉
For the first time, the document emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between atrial and ventricular secondary MR (SMR).
👉 Can you find the patient with atrial SMR? 🤔

AR grading is challenging. 🤔 Our global survey shows- visual grading dominates, while advanced tools are underused. Trust in AI? 🤖Promising but only if validated.

AI can often detect hidden signals that describe subclinical disease or phenotypes clinicians do not readily see. In 2020, we published that AI can predict age from standard #echofirst images.
An initially surprising finding, on closer examination, I noticed younger patients tended to have small atria / longer LVs while older patients had more spherical hearts and larger atria.
In hindsight, these changes are consistent with age related changes (including the physiology of diastology), but more generally, this can be a way for cardiologists to learn patterns that were previously not intuitive.
In a recent preprint lead by @MeenalRawlani, we further explore these suprising findings.
1/n Excited to announce work by Dr. @BinderRodriguez from @MedUni_Wien on the AI automated assessment of Aortic Regurgitation (AR) on #echofirst using 59,500 videos from @SmidtHeart. Lead by Dr. Bob Siegel.

Heute ist ein interessanter Tag für Frauen in der Medizin in Österreich! Der brandneue Ärztekammer-Präsident hat keine einzige Frau in seinem Stab und im Jahresbericht der Medizinischen Universität Wien wird von 19 neuen Professuren berichtet, keine einzige Frau ist unter ihnen!
Falls Sie 85 Mio Dollar übrig haben, könnten Sie ein gut 2.000 m2 großes geschmackloses Haus in Los Angelos kaufen: Für jedes der 9 Schlafzimmer 2 Bäder, 6 Aquarien (1 für Haie), 3 Wasserfälle, Platz für 500 Gäste. Und angeblich schöne Aussicht. https://t.co/XDIa04r06L
