Article Synopsis
- Heart sound auscultation helps detect cardiac issues but requires specialized skills, limiting its widespread application.
- Deep learning has recently advanced heart sound analysis by utilizing large datasets and neural networks to enhance accuracy in identifying heart sounds.
- This review aims to compile existing heart sound datasets, introduce cutting-edge techniques, and assess practical applications and limitations of deep learning in heart sound analysis, while highlighting the need for further research to improve clinical use.
Article Synopsis
- - Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) need antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, but genetic variations can affect how well they respond to these medications.
- - A study with 935 CAD patients looked at 19 specific genetic variants (SNPs) to see how they relate to the risk of recurrent ischemic events, finding that a polygenic model with 6 SNPs could more effectively predict drug response.
- - The research showed that patients with 7 or more risk alleles had a significantly higher risk of ischemic events compared to those with 6 or fewer, suggesting the model could improve treatment strategies for CAD patients.
