Cardiac disease can reduce the ability of the ventricles to function well enough to sustain long-term pumping efficiency. Recent advances in cardiac motion tracking have led to improvements in the analysis of cardiac function. We propose a method to study cohort effects related to age with respect to cardiac function. The proposed approach...

Objectives: Even after successful aortic coarctation repair, there remains a significant incidence of late systemic hypertension and other morbidities. Independently of residual obstruction, aortic arch morphology alone may affect cardiac function and outcome. We sought to uncover the relationship of arch 3-dimensional shape features with...

Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) is a cardiac defect that requires surgical intervention aiming to restore an unobstructed aortic arch shape. Many patients suffer from complications post-repair, which are commonly associated with arch shape abnormalities. Determining the degree of shape abnormality could improve risk stratification in recommended...

Today's growing medical image databases call for novel processing tools to structure the bulk of data and extract clinically relevant information. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering may reveal clusters within anatomical shape data of patient populations as required for modern Precision Medicine strategies. Few studies have applied...
