Engineers team with cardiologist to rethink heart pump assessments

The group’s work is focused on how signal processing technologies and machine learning can track the health of VADs and the patients who need them. 

Eko Health, the California-based healthcare technology company known for its advanced stethoscopes, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new artificial intelligence (AI) offering designed to detect low ejection fraction (EF).

Eko Health raises $41M to expand footprint of its AI-powered stethoscopes

Now that the company has gained FDA approval for multiple algorithms, Eko Health aims to reach as many patients as possible with its AI-powered devices.

Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) President Kenneth Ellenbogen, MD, FHRS, director of clinical cardiac electrophysiology and pacing, Virginia Commonwealth University, discussed two key initiatives for 2024-25 with Cardiovascular Business. These include helping create a new, independent cardiovascular medicine board, and supporting the movement toward more outpatient procedures being performed in office-based labs (OBL) and ambulatory surgical centers (ASC). #EPeeps #HRS #HRS24 #HRS2024

Heart Rhythm Society shows support for new cardiovascular board, outpatient EP centers

Cardiovascular Business spoke with HRS President Kenneth Ellenbogen, MD, about two key initiatives the group is focused on this year.

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has helped cardiologists, radiologists, nurses and other healthcare providers embrace precision medicine in a way that ensures more heart patients are receiving personalized care.

AI uses imaging results to ID high-risk TAVR patients with speed, accuracy

Researchers developed an advanced AI model capable of extracting measurements from unprocessed CT images in seconds. It then uses those data to evaluate the patient's mortality risk if they underwent TAVR.

Around the web

Several key trends were evident at the Radiological Society of North America 2024 meeting, including new CT and MR technology and evolving adoption of artificial intelligence.

Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.
