Artificial intelligence yields promising results for advancing coronary angiography
Mayo Clinic AI-ENCODE study demonstrated machine-learning can extract functional and hemodynamics data from routine angiograms
2024-05-02
(Press-News.org) Long Beach, Calif. – May 2, 2024 – New insights from the AI-ENCODE study showed artificial intelligence (AI) successfully allowed the automated extraction of key functional and physiological data from routine angiograms. The late-breaking results were presented today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2024 Scientific Sessions.
Coronary angiography is a widely used diagnostic procedure for identifying coronary artery disease (CAD), performed in over one million patients annually in the United States. Currently, data extracted from coronary angiograms are confined to detecting blockages in the coronary arteries. However, AI technology has the potential to broaden the diagnostic abilities of conventional coronary angiography by expanding its diagnostic scope which can improve clinical decision-making and positively impact patient outcomes.
The AI-ENCODE study leveraged advanced machine-learning techniques to expand the range of data obtained from routine coronary angiograms. Using a library of more than 20,000 angiograms performed at the Mayo Clinic from 2016 to 2021, the study team developed and validated multiple AI algorithms to extract data on left and right ventricular function, intracardiac filling pressures, and cardiac index from one to two angiographic videos. Echocardiograms performed close to the angiogram served as the 'gold standard' for the comparison.
The AI models predicted left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), LV filling pressures, right ventricular dysfunction, and CI with an area under a receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.87, 0.87, 0.80, and 0.82, respectively. These results show that novel AI models were able to extract key diagnostic data that would routinely have required additional tests such as echocardiograms and/or right heart catheterization.
“Traditional diagnostic tools in cardiovascular medicine harbor vast information, but much remains underutilized. The AI-ENCODE project proved that AI can be leveraged to unlock and deliver a broader, more meaningful spectrum of clinical findings from existing angiograms,’’ said Mohamad Alkhouli, MD, Division Chair of Research and Innovation at Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, and lead author of the study. “This study truly shows us AI’s prowess in revealing insights beyond what the human eye can see. It is important that we leverage AI’s capabilities as a diagnostic tool to provide the best possible for our patients.”
The study authors look forward to further analyses of AI’s capabilities in the cardiovascular space.

BALTIMORE, May 2, 2024: Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) affects about one-quarter of reproductive-age women and is linked to adverse health outcomes, such as increased HIV risk. Yet for decades, BV treatment in the United States has largely relied on antibiotics, and BV recurrence is common following antibiotic therapy.
Now, two European clinical trials have shown limited success with a different type of medication used to treat BV called dequalinium chloride (DQC). DQC—an antiseptic—has been in use for several decades in countries throughout Europe as an alternative treatment for BV. It is not currently approved by the U.S. ...

Recent reports of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope finding signs of life on a distant planet understandably sparked excitement. A new study challenges this finding, but also outlines how the telescope might verify the presence of the life-produced gas.
The UC Riverside study, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, may be a disappointment to extraterrestrial enthusiasts but does not rule out the near-future possibility of discovery.
In 2023 there were tantalizing reports of a biosignature gas in the atmosphere of planet K2-18b, ...

The alarming rates of biodiversity loss worldwide have made clear that the classical way of governing biodiversity recovery based on protected areas and programmes for the protection of endangered species is not enough. To tackle this, almost 200 countries committed to the active ‘mainstreaming’ or integration of biodiversity targets into policies and plans across relevant sectors. However, research led by Utrecht University and UFZ Helmholz Centre for Environmental Research suggests that this has until now been largely ineffective due to non-binding commitments, ...

As COVID-19 becomes endemic, an important group of people who continue to require vaccination is future birth cohorts of children. Yet, in the face of ever-changing variants, as well as the waning of antibodies with time after each dose, key questions remain: What is the threshold of immune response against SARS-CoV-2 needed to protect against COVID-19 and how many doses of mRNA vaccination are required to reach that threshold?
Researchers answered this question in a joint study conducted by the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) and Duke-NUS Medical School. With parental consent ...
