This study by Cornhill et al., from the precision medicine research group led by Cohesic CMO and co-founder Dr. James White, demonstrates the potential of combining patient-reported health status, data derived from Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging, and electronic health information. Using data collected from 1,775 patients with chronic systolic HF, they developed a predictive model to identify which patients are at high risk of HF hospitalization and predict their time to hospitalization.
For those who have spent considerable time in the healthcare sector, headlines announcing groundbreaking machine learning models from leading technology organizations like Google and IBM are hardly new. However, a closer look reveals that these are more often cautionary tales than success stories
With the annual SCCT conference fading into the rear-view mirror, we wanted to take a moment to review some of the highlights, and to celebrate the incredible work that the CCT community completed this year.
It feels like it hasn’t been long since #SCMR23 took place in San Diego, but just like a beating heart, the SCMR doesn’t stop pumping! Join your fellow CMR colleagues this summer at the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) Mid-Year Meeting, focusing on stress CMR and quantitative myocardial perfusion.
SCCT 2023 is set to deliver a diverse range of programs that promise to enrich your knowledge and skills. Here are some of the sessions that have caught our attention, and some helpful advice for navigating the conference.
Healthcare systems worldwide are facing mounting challenges as treatment decisions grow increasingly complex due to the prevalence of comorbidities. Concurrently, research exploring the application of artificial intelligence models in healthcare has surged, producing intriguing results which many researchers claim will pave the way to personalized healthcare.
If this is your first time attending SCMR, here’s some things you should get excited about!
On February 18, 2022, it was announced that Dr. Christine Lorenz, Cohesic Chief Operating Officer has been elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). The AIMBE College of Fellows is comprised of the top 2% of medical and biological...
The exhaustion of health care resources caused by the COVID-19 pandemic amplified existing inefficiencies in health care pathways. During the second wave of the pandemic in the UK, there was a 41% decline in hospital admissions related to heart failure (HF), and a 34% decline in heart attack...
This week, we look at the Heart Best Research Paper Award 2021 for the best research paper published in the journal Heart in 2020. We also see how AI-based decision models can underdiagnosis under-served groups, an important issue if we are to achieve both efficiency and fairness from our decision...
This week we look at how a new hydrogel promises to help repair dynamic tissue, why flu vaccines benefit cardiovascular (CV) patients, and how artificial intelligence (AI) systems can assist in prescreening for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A New Hydrogel Shows Promise for...
Physician Training and Maintenance of Competency for Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) Therapies An article published by Yee et al in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology (CJOC) summarized the recent report by the Canadian Heart Rhythm Society (CHRS) Task Force on CIED Implant...
Deep Learning Image Reconstruction reduces radiation dose by 43% in CCTA scans.A recent study by Benz et al published in European Radiology compared a deep learning image reconstruction tool (DLIR) with a conventional Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction-Veo (ASiR-V) and produced some surprising results.
New guidelines for the evaluation and diagnosis of chest pain has officially been released, and we were pleased to see that cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been well represented with Class 1 or Class 2a recommendations for CMR in all...
The 2021 AHA/ACC/ASE/CHEST/SAEM/SCCT/SCMR guideline for the evaluation and diagnosis of chest pain has officially been released, and we were pleased to see that cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been well represented with Class 1 or Class 2a recommendations for CMR in all clinical scenarios.
