  1. 1. Domain Adaptation for Multi-Contrast Image Segmentation in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Thomas Proudhon; [2023]
    Keywords : Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Deep Learning; Domain Adaptation; Unsupervised Segmentation; Image-to-image Translation;

    Abstract : Accurate segmentation of the ventricles and myocardium on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) images is crucial to assess the functioning of the heart or to diagnose patients suffering from myocardial infarction. However, the domain shift existing between the multiple sequences of CMR data prevents a deep learning model trained on a specific contrast to be used on a different sequence. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exercise interventions for patients with myocardial infarction : A descriptive review

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för vårdvetenskap

    Author : Lixiang Lan; Lei Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background:Today, from the perspective of cardiovascular disease, myocardialinfarction is still the most common cardiovascular disease, and the incidence rate isincreasing year by year. Cardiac dysfunction and decreased quality of life are commoncomplications in patients with myocardial infarction. READ MORE

  4. 3. A viscoelastic evaluation of an injectable disulfide cross-linked thiol-collagen hydrogel: for tissue bulking post-myocardial infarction to prevent heart failure

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Makromolekylär kemi

    Author : Karin Dungner; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of death globally. Progression of the disease affects the composition and function of the heart and in many cases subsequently results in heart failure over time where a heart transplant is vital. Therefore, there is a need for medical treatments to stop the progression of the disease. READ MORE

  5. 4. Influencing factors of delayed medical treatment in patients with acute myocardial infarction : A descriptive review

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för vårdvetenskap

    Author : Ma Jieyu; Lin Huixian; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: A 2017 study estimated that more than 800,000 people suffer from acute myocardial infarction each year, and in most cases, 27% of patients die from it before they reach the hospital. Pre-hospital delays have been relatively stable over the past two decades, and have not improved significantly in any of those two decades. READ MORE

  6. 5. Predicting Myocardial Infarction using Textual Prehospital Data and Machine Learning

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Datavetenskap

    Author : Yvette Jane Van der Haas; [2021]
    Keywords : Healthcare; NLP; Data Science; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : A major healthcare problem is the overcrowding of hospitals and emergency departments which leads to negative patient outcomes and increased costs. In a previous study, performed by Leiden University Medical Centre, a new and innovative prehospital triage method was developed where two nurse paramedics could consult a cardiologist for patients with cardiac symptoms, via a live connection on a digital triage platform.
