MedPage Today) — It is possible for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM, also called cardiac ATTR amyloidosis) to be reversed with antibody treatment, as suggested by rare cases of patients who had their ATTR-related heart failure resolve…
Mount Sinai researchers have developed an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) model for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis that allows for the interpretation of ECGs as language. This approach can enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of ECG-related diagnoses, especially for cardiac conditions where limited data is available on which to train…
