Can AI Read a Cardiac MRI Faster than a Human?
2019 03 Oct
Cardiac MRI scans help clinicians to make precise measurements of heart structure and function that guide patient care and treatment plans. Interpreting a cardiac MRI by a trained physician (cardiologist) takes approximately 13 minutes. In contrast, automated machine learning can do the same analysis in just about four seconds nearly 186 times faster... Read more
AI Accuracy Matches Clinicians'
2019 30 Sep
More sophisticated technologies such as artificial intelligence are said to hold much promise in improving disease diagnosis . A new systematic review of relevant published articles, for instance, indicates that AI can detect diseases from medical imaging with the same accuracy as clinicians. The review included 82 studies spanning cardiology, breast... Read more
#ESCCongress: How Has Social Media Changed Clinical Cardiology Practice
2019 31 Aug
In a very interesting session at the #ESCCongress in Paris on the use of #SoMe in cardiology, Prof. Mamas A. Mamas of the University of Keele talked about ways in which social media can and has changed clinical practice in cardiology. Practice in medicine is led by randomised control trials. All these trials eventually inform clinical guidelines.... Read more

Cardiology and mHealth – Rethink About Monitoring
2019 26 Aug
Summary: Overview about the value of mHealth in cardiology exemplified by some promising tools that for sure will change the way cardiology is practiced, especially in the management of rhythm disturbances like atrial fibrillation. Where Are We Now? Nowadays, there is a lot of hype about the role of wearables and mobile health (mHealth)... Read more
Cardiovascular Disease Prevention 2019: Quo Vadis?
2019 26 Aug
Summary: Cardiovascular disease prevention strategies in 2019 remain a major healthcare issue, requiring an individualised approach for diagnostic and therapeutic decision making. Introduction Since investigators from the Framingham Heart Study first confirmed the existence and importance of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in... Read more
Nuclear Cardiology: Molecular Insights into the Heart
2019 26 Aug
Summary: Nuclear cardiology is a promising field located between research, imaging, and patient care. Through close interdisciplinary cooperation, a variety of cardiovascular diseases (eg coronary artery, inflammatory and infiltrative cardiac diseases) can not only be investigated, but also efficiently treated in daily clinical routine. What... Read more
