    Deep learning of left atrial structure and function provides link to atrial fibrillation risk

    Increased left atrial volume and decreased left atrial function have long been associated with atrial fibrillation. The availability of large-scale cardiac magnetic resonance imaging data paired with genetic d...

    Genetics of myocardial interstitial fibrosis in the human heart and association with disease

    Myocardial interstitial fibrosis is associated with cardiovascular disease and adverse prognosis. Here, to investigate the biological pathways that underlie fibrosis in the human heart, we developed a machine ...

    Genetic analysis of right heart structure and function in 40,000 people

    Congenital heart diseases often involve maldevelopment of the evolutionarily recent right heart chamber. To gain insight into right heart structure and function, we fine-tuned deep learning models to recognize...

    Deep learning enables genetic analysis of the human thoracic aorta

    Enlargement or aneurysm of the aorta predisposes to dissection, an important cause of sudden death. We trained a deep learning model to evaluate the dimensions of the ascending and descending thoracic aorta in...

    Field validation of recombinant antigen immunoassays for diagnosis of Lassa fever

    Lassa fever, a hemorrhagic fever caused by Lassa virus (LASV), is endemic in West Africa. It is difficult to distinguish febrile illnesses that are common in West Africa from Lassa fever based solely on a pati...
