Chronotropic incompetency during stress echocardiography
Stress echocardiography (SE) has gained recognition as a non-invasive diagnostic imaging modality to assess patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Since exercise SE was introduced in the 1970s, the widened spectrum of stressors such as inodilators (dobutamine) or vasodilators (adenosine, dipyridamole, and recently regadenoson) continues to be rolled out to patients who are otherwise…
The Value of Cardiac CT Based Inflammatory RA
Vascular inflammation plays a critical role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Measurement of coronary inflammation from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) Score could provide unique prognostic information and guide the clinical management of patients. In this context, we also refer to an artificial intelligence–based risk…
MKUH Newsletter discusses “Pioneering Professor Kardos”
In a recent newsletter sent to all MKUH staff, Professor Kardos work with Cranfield University was described as pioneering. Please see below for the extract: MKUH consultant cardiologist, Professor Attila Kardos, has been working with researchers at Cranfield University on the use of AI-controlled robotics to deliver echocardiograms. It is hoped that the pioneering work…

Cardiac Ultrasound Image Acquisition Using AI and Robotics
This article’s main focus is on an innovative automated solution that uses deep learning and robotics to make echocardiography more accessible and efficient. The research aims to mitigate the challenges of traditional TTE and improve diagnostic workflows.
Changes in coronary disease management decisions in real-world practice
Another joint publication from the EVEREST collaborative on stress echocardiogram to show the growing clinical value of stress echo in avoiding invasive investigations in the UK population of chest pain patients. We were one of the first site in the UK to establish this valuable database. Click here to download the document.
