Current heart failure (HF) risk stratification strategies require comprehensive clinical evaluation, including laboratory testing and detailed clinical assessments, limiting their accessibility and scalability. In this study, artificial intelligence (AI) applied to electrocardiogram (ECG) images was examined as a strategy to predict HF risk. MORE

The first edition of Medical Microbiology was published in 1990 and, over the next 35 years, new diseases were described and pathogens were discovered. There are additions of new technologies, molecular microbiology, taxonomic updates, as well as emerging pathogens. Our knowledge and understanding of immunology and virology has greatly expanded since the first, and with each edition of Medical Microbiology with new concepts; new understandings of the mechanisms of immunology and viral disease; new and not so new viruses that have become important; and therapeutic advances in microbiology and immunology.
