Geometric and morphological assessment of structurally normal tricuspid aortic valves based on body surface area using 3D transesophageal echocardiography

Aortic valve geometry is a key parameter for aortic valve repair, which serves as a surgical alternative to valve replacement for aortic insufficiency treatment. Individuals with different body sizes may exhibit varying geometric parameters of the aortic valve. This study aims to...

Personalized Cine Cardiac MRI Protocol Optimization Using a Retrieval‐Augmented Large Language Model: A Prospective Comparison With Technologist‐Optimized Protocol

ABSTRACT Background Cine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols are typically based on static templates, which may not optimally address individual patient limitations such as arrhythmia or limited breath‐hold capacity. Purpose To test whether an artificial intelligen...

Effect of alpha-lipoic acid on atrial fibrillation and biomarkers of myocardial injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery: study protocol of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> : Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with several postoperative complications, notably atrial fibrillation (AF), which may arise due to myocardial reperfusion following ischemia and the resulting inflammatory respo...
