The paper introduces a latent dynamical model that captures full‑cycle biventricular cardiac motion from cine MRI using a heart‑rate‑aware neural ODE and a graph‑based mesh autoencoder. It encodes ventricular anatomy and motion as a continuous latent trajectory, with a covariate‑conditioned prior for the end‑diastolic state and a Cox model linking deviations to incident heart failure. In a large UK Biobank cohort, adding the latent score to existing risk equations improved predictive performance, outperforming several established cardiac markers and alternative modeling approaches.

arXiv:2606. 26718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) captures rich spatiotemporal information about ventricular structure and motion, but conventional risk models use only a few image-derived indices from selected cardiac phases.

arXiv:2606. 13188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building patient-specific cardiac models sits at the heart of precision cardiology, yet getting those models into clinical use keeps running into the same wall: mesh generation is slow, messy, and frustrating.

The paper introduces ORBIT, a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastolic and end‑systolic cardiac phases in fetal echocardiography without manual annotations. ORBIT learns a latent motion trajectory through registration, enabling orientation‑robust identification of phase transitions across diverse fetal heart positions. Evaluated on normal and congenital heart disease cases, it achieves low mean absolute errors (≈1.9–2.4 frames) and outperforms prior annotation‑free approaches that assume fixed orientations.
