Cardiovascular diseases cause one death every 33 seconds in America. Diagnosing these conditions, which account for approximately 20% of all deaths annually, can be difficult because the overlaying ...

Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm to accurately detect heart murmurs in dogs, one of the main indicators of cardiac disease, which affects a large proportion of some smaller ...

A new algorithm for estimating left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) by echocardiography reduced indeterminate results to just two cases compared with 38 using previous guidelines, achieving 86% ...

Algorithms used to estimate risk of heart problems are performing poorly when applied to new populations, resulting in substantial risk of harm, according to a study published in Circulation April 5.

A machine learning algorithm running on a smartwatch demonstrated the ability to detect sudden loss of pulse with high specificity (99.99%) and moderate sensitivity (67.23%), according to a study led ...

A smart-technology wearable wristband device may be able to automatically detect cardiac arrest, which could lead to faster medical assistance and increased survival odds when cardiac arrest occurs ...

Smart stethoscope company Eko last week announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for an algorithm that detects and characterizes heart murmurs in adult and pediatric patients. Eko Murmur ...

Mayo Clinic is developing an algorithm capable of detecting a weak heart pump from electrocardiograms recorded on wearable devices like Apple Watches, potentially enabling early detection of the ...

A new study in the journal Pediatrics has demonstrated an algorithm to evaluate when children with chest pain should be referred for further diagnosis. Pediatric chest pain is seldom due to heart ...
