In Atrial Functional MR can get “Hamstringing”of posterior MV leaflet due to massive LA dilation;this “atriogenic” leaflet tethering is from displaced posterior annulus onto crest of LV inlet resulting in⬆️in annulopapillary distance restricting leaflet motion #echofirst

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy carries some risk of sudden death but it is hard to predict who is at high-risk for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Enter multimodal A.I. nature.com/articles/s4416…

a possible gamechanger: a multimodal AI model based on LGE-CMR, EHR, & clinical data predicts sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with AUROC of 0.81, beating ACC/AHA (0.51) & ESC (0.54) guidelines and risk calculators #Cardiology #AI doi.org/10.1038/s44161…

Still hearing a lot about “Blue Zones” being the secret to longevity. But the theory was debunked a while ago. Areas of the world with people claiming to be 110+ years old are actually just places with poor record keeping and a lot of pension fraud. When official birth

It’s a truly curious observation. Most curious is that some of the atrial structural changes in endurance exercisers is similar to the changes seen in obesity.

Absolutely thrilled about the recent regulatory clearances of our cardiac amyloidosis (CA) detection model. This is a game-changer in early CA diagnosis—bringing speed, accuracy, and scale to a condition that’s too often missed or delayed. Proud of the impact this will have!
