The National Echocardiography Database Australia (NEDA) is a new echocardiography database collecting digital measurements on both a retrospective and prospective basis. To date, echocardiographic data from 435,133 individuals (aged 61.6 ± 17.9 years) with linkage to 59,725 all-cause deaths during a median of 40 months follow-up have been collected. These data will inform a number of initial analyses focusing on pulmonary hypertension, aortic stenosis and the role of artificial intelligence to facilitate accurate diagnoses of cardiac abnormalities.

Predicting Mortality and Hospitalization in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction by Using Machine Learning.
JACC Asia
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou, and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: Few studies have incorporated echocardiography and laboratory data to predict clinical outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Objectives: This study aimed to use machine learning to find predictors of heart failure (HF) hospitalization and cardiovascular (CV) death in HFpEF.
Methods: From the Chang Gung Research Database in Taiwan, 6,092 HFpEF patients (2,898 derivation, 3,194 validation) identified between 2008 and 2017 were followed until 2019.
Artificial intelligence for left ventricular hypertrophy detection and differentiation on echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac computed tomography: A systematic review.

Article Synopsis
- Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is linked to serious cardiovascular issues, and identifying its cause is important for treatment; this systematic review explores how AI can help in diagnosing LVH and its causes from imaging data.
- A thorough search was conducted utilizing multiple databases, leading to the inclusion of 30 studies which mainly focused on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), with a smaller number on cardiac computed tomography (CT).
- The review found that AI methods, especially deep learning and convolutional neural networks, showed good diagnostic performance, with the highest accuracy in identifying the causes of LVH rather than just detecting it; more real-life validation studies and cost-effectiveness assessments are recommended.
Calcified Amorphous Tumor and Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis-Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature.

Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare, mostly incidental tumor-like cardiac lesion of unknown histogenesis. Current imaging modalities do not differentiate between CAT and other masses. As it can be a source for embolization, surgical excision of CAT is mandatory.

As the population of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) grows, there also grows an expanded need for non-invasive surveillance methods to guide management and intervention. A multimodal imaging approach layers complementary insights from echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other modalities into a clinician's view of patient physiology. Merely applying strategies from acquired adult cardiac disease would be inadequate and potentially misleading.

Introduction: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular disease and screening to detect pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) is important to prevent complications. In adults, transthoracic contrast echocardiogram (TTCE) is used to screen PAVMs. In children, a conservative screening method seems to be sufficient to rule out major PAVMs and prevent them from PAVM-related complications.
