What is Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)?

HFpEF is a condition where the heart pumps normally but becomes stiff and cannot relax properly, increasingly prevalent among middle-aged and elderly due to factors like diabetes and hypertension.

What role does cardiac imaging play in treatment decisions?

Cardiac imaging acts as a 'therapeutic compass,' guiding the timing, strategy, and safety of treatments for various heart conditions, including HFpEF and structural heart interventions.

Cardiac Imaging: AI Enhances Heart Diagnosis Precision

Cardiac imaging has transformed from a supportive tool into a fundamental element of modern cardiology, according to experts at the Indian Academy of Echocardiography (IAE) conference in Thiruvananthapuram. President of IAE Kerala Chapter, Dr. Sunitha Viswanathan, emphasized that innovations in echocardiography and multimodality imaging have drastically improved both diagnostic accuracy and interventional success.

Techniques such as strain imaging, 3D echocardiography, and AI-assisted image analysis are elevating the precision and safety of cardiac procedures. Artificial intelligence and automation specifically enhance visualization, accuracy, and reproducibility. This allows for earlier identification of heart muscle dysfunction and more secure execution of complex interventions.
