    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.5, pp. 539-550, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.042344

    Abstract Objectives: Over the last decade, neonatal repair has been advocated for many congenital heart diseases. However, specific subgroups of complex congenital heart disease still require temporary palliation for which both surgical and endovascular techniques are currently available. We reviewed our institutional experience with shunt palliation with an emphasis on risk factors for early mortality. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study on 175 patients undergoing surgery for central shunt or modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. All data were extracted from a prospectively collected computerized database. We identified risk factors for early mortality by uni- and multi-variable analysis. All data were censored at… More >

    Abstract Objective: Despite increasing enthusiasm for neonatal repair, patients with ductal-dependent circulation (pulmonary/systemic) or restrictive pulmonary blood flow still require initial palliation. Ductal stenting has emerged as an endovascular approach whereas modified-Blalock-Taussig and central shunt remain surgical references. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between pulmonary artery growth, sites of shunt connection, or antegrade pulmonary blood flow in surgically placed shunts. The need for secondary catheter-based interventions or pulmonary arterioplasty was also investigated. Methods: A retrospective single-center study analyzing 175 patients undergoing surgery for a central or modified-Blalock-Taussig shunt. Outcome growth variables were right pulmonary artery/left pulmonary artery diameters/Z scores,… More > Graphic Abstract

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.5, pp. 491-505, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.030583

    Abstract Background: Three-dimensional printing technology may become a key factor in transforming clinical practice and in significant improvement of treatment outcomes. The introduction of this technique into pediatric cardiac surgery will allow us to study features of the anatomy and spatial relations of a defect and to simulate the optimal surgical repair on a printed model in every individual case. Methods: We performed the prospective cohort study which included 29 children with congenital heart defects. The hearts and the great vessels were modeled and printed out.

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.1, pp. 665-680, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.041031

    Abstract Cardiac disease is a chronic condition that impairs the heart’s functionality. It includes conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular heart disease. These conditions can lead to serious complications and even be life-threatening if not detected and managed in time. Researchers have utilized Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) to identify heart abnormalities swiftly and consistently. Various approaches have been applied to predict and treat heart disease utilizing ML and DL. This paper proposes a Machine and Deep Learning-based Stacked Model (MDLSM) to predict heart disease accurately. ML approaches such as eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB),… More >

    Abstract Effective smart healthcare frameworks contain novel and emerging solutions for remote disease diagnostics, which aid in the prevention of several diseases including heart-related abnormalities. In this context, regular monitoring of cardiac patients through smart healthcare systems based on Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals has the potential to save many lives. In existing studies, several heart disease diagnostic systems are proposed by employing different state-of-the-art methods, however, improving such methods is always an intriguing area of research. Hence, in this research, a smart healthcare system is proposed for the diagnosis of heart disease using ECG signals. The proposed framework extracts both linear and… More >

    Batyrkhan Omarov1,*, Meirzhan Baikuvekov1, Zeinel Momynkulov2, Aray Kassenkhan3, Saltanat Nuralykyzy3, Mereilim Iglikova3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 3745-3761, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.042627

    Abstract Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Electrocardiograms (ECG) play a crucial role in diagnosing heart disease. However, interpreting ECG signals necessitates specialized knowledge and training. The development of automated methods for ECG analysis has the potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of heart disease diagnosis. This research paper proposes a 3D Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (Conv-LSTM) model for detecting heart disease using ECG signals. The proposed model combines the advantages of both convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. By considering both the spatial and temporal dependencies of ECG, the 3D Conv-LSTM model… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 2599-2624, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.041609

    Abstract Heart disease is a primary cause of death worldwide and is notoriously difficult to cure without a proper diagnosis. Hence, machine learning (ML) can reduce and better understand symptoms associated with heart disease. This study aims to develop a framework for the automatic and accurate classification of heart disease utilizing machine learning algorithms, grid search (GS), and the Aquila optimization algorithm. In the proposed approach, feature selection is used to identify characteristics of heart disease by using a method for dimensionality reduction. First, feature selection is accomplished with the help of the Aquila algorithm. Then, the optimal combination of the… More >

Methods: Longitudinal study with two assessments of the same patients (n = 244) from a hospital population and controls (n = 238) from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) using parental education, patients age, and sex as matching criteria. The first patient study was conducted between 5/2003 and 6/2004, the second one between 5/2017 and 4/2019. Controls were drawn from GSOEP-surveys 2004 and 2018. CHD-severity was classified according to type of surgery: curative, reparative, or palliative.… More > Graphic Abstract
