Temporary microaxial transvalvular left ventricular assist device for post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture: Bridging a paradigm shift.

Objective: To characterize the clinical courses and outcomes of patients presenting with post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal rupture (VSR) receiving temporary microaxial transvalvular left ventricular assist device (tVAD) support.

Methods: Between December 2019 and July 2023, 10 consecutive patients presented with a post-MI VSR. All 10 patients received a tVAD.

Leveraging a Vision Transformer Model to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy of Cardiac Amyloidosis With Cardiac Magnetic Resonance.

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an important diagnostic tool for diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA). However, discrimination of CA from other etiologies of myocardial disease can be challenging.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and rigorously validate a deep learning (DL) algorithm to aid in the discrimination of CA using cine and late gadolinium enhancement CMR imaging.
