  • AI ECG Updates

    Guest: Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., M.S.

    Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.

    There have been many recent developments regarding AI-ECG, with some algorithms able to identify common and very relevant medical conditions like CAD and diastolic disfunction. There are major limitations implementing AI-ECG, including regulatory, technical and clinician-related. Algorithms meant to detect rare diseases, when used indiscriminately, may lead to many false positive results. The future of AI-ECG is optimizing its implementation through seamless integration in workflows, use of point of care or wearables getting ECG signals, and using multimodality AI, where AI-ECG would be just one of several signals used to detect cardiac and non-cardiac conditions, aging, and to predict cardiovascular events.

    Topics Discussed:

    What is new on AI ECG these days? What new algorithms have been developed that you see may change clinical practice in the future? (although structured as 2 questions, its actually one)What are the major limitations using AI-ECG in clinical practice?What do you think is the future of AI-ECG?

  • Dyspnea After Pulmonary Embolism: Optimal Medical Therapy in Peripheral Vascular Disease

    Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D.

    Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.

    Historically, majority of clinical and research focus has been on acute management of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, long-standing functional impairment after PE is common, occurring in up to 50% of individuals with history of PE. This is termed post-PE syndrome – an underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated entity. In this podcast, experts discuss epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of post-PE syndrome.

    Topics Discussed:

    What is Post-PE syndrome? How common is it?What is your suggested work-up of patient who presents with dyspnea after PE?When should a patient be referred to a tertiary/expert center?

  • An AI-ECG Algorithm for Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

    Guest: Jae Oh, M.D.

    Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.

    Diastolic function assessment is crucial in diagnosing, managing, and predicting outcomes in various cardiac conditions. It provides insight into heart health, particularly in diagnosing heart failure. Shortness of breath, a common patient complaint, often indicates elevated diastolic filling pressure if linked to a cardiac condition. Echocardiography is the primary method for assessing diastolic function, but it is operator-dependent and not always available. In contrast, ECGs are standardized and widely accessible. Although subtle changes in ECGs are not easily detectable by the human eye, artificial intelligence can identify specific conditions reflected in the ECG. By training an AI model with labeled ECGs based on diastolic function determined through echocardiography, researchers achieved high accuracy in detecting diastolic dysfunction. AI-enhanced ECGs can significantly impact the identification of both asymptomatic and symptomatic cardiac conditions, potentially streamlining diagnostic strategies and reducing costs. Future developments may enable patients to monitor their heart health using simple wearable devices, enhancing the management of heart failure and other conditions.

    Topics Discussed:

    Your special clinical academic interest is echocardiography. Why are you interested in ECG AI in diastolic function?What is diastolic function and why is it important to assess diastolic function in clinical practice?Why did you decide to create AI-ECG for diastolic function assessment?What did you find and how do you envision AI ECG for diastolic function be used in clinical practice?

  • 3D Visualization of the Heart in Immersive Technology Like Mixed Reality

    Guest: Dr. Klaudia Proniewska

    Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.

    The most commonly applied way of teaching students the foundations of human anatomy and physiology involves textbooks and lectures. This method of transmitting knowledge causes difficulties for students, especially in the context of three-dimensional imaging of organ structures, and as a consequence, translates into difficulties with imagining them. Even with the rapid uptake of knowledge dissemination provided by online materials, including courses and webinars, there is a clear need for learning programs featuring first-hand immersive experiences tailored to individual study paces. In my research, I present an approach to enhance a classical study program by combining multi-modality data and representing them in a Mixed Reality (MR)-based environment. The advantages of the proposed approach have been proven by the conducted investigation of the relationship between heart anatomy, its electrophysiological characteristics, and resulting wave morphology on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Another part of the research focuses on the role of the anatomy of the heart, e.g., the sinoatrial node, in ECG formation, while the MR-based visualization of combined imaging data with non-invasive CineECG (by Peter van Dam) imaging demonstrates the educational application of these advanced technologies for teaching cardiac anatomy and ECG correlations.

    Topics Discussed

    Can you explain why three-dimensional structures are important to teach electrophysiology of the heart?How does the electrocardiogram (ECG) relate to heart anatomy, and why is this relationship fundamental in understanding cardiac electrophysiology? Give an example.Have you implemented any innovative teaching methods or technologies to enhance the learning experience in cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology? If so, can you describe their impact?In your experience, what are the most effective ways to convey complex 3D structures and dynamic processes in cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology to students or professionals?
