Left bundle branch block (LBBB) causes immediate electrical and mechanical dys-synchrony of the left ventricle (LV) and gradual structural damages in the Purkinje cells and myocardium. Mechanical dys-synchrony reduces the LV ejection fraction (EF) instantly, but only to ≈55% in an otherwise normal heart. Because of the heart's in-built functional redundancy, a patient with LBBB does not always notice the heart's reduced efficiency straight away.

Studies on the genetic basis of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), characterized by a configuration of the aortic valve with two leaflets instead of three, are insufficient. This study aimed to elucidate the possible relationship between BAV and TGF-β1 gene expression levels. Forty-eight pediatric patients diagnosed with isolated BAV and 50 healthy children with innocent heart murmurs were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • * 57 participants were divided into guilty and innocent groups, and the collected data demonstrated that all indicators could consistently differentiate between the two groups, with varying degrees of accuracy.
  • * The combined use of these multiple indicators significantly improved detection efficiency (AUC = 0.96), highlighting the advantages of using a broader approach for concealed information detection in CIT.

Unlabelled: Our aim was to investigate the ability of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm to differentiate innocent murmurs from pathologic ones. An AI-based algorithm was developed using heart sound recordings collected from 1413 patients at the five university hospitals in Finland. The corresponding heart condition was verified using echocardiography.
