— AI transformation of the way cardiology uses echo “is absolutely going to happen, expert says

AI-fed echocardiography videos were able to complete 18 tasks at once, classifying patients on measures ranging from severe aortic valve stenosis to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and valvular regurgitation with high accuracy with a median area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.91, according to findings from the PanECHO study.
A simplified imaging protocol using just five views still had good accuracy with a median AUROC of 0.85 and normalized mean absolute error of 0.14, reported Gregory Holste, MSE, a PhD candidate at Yale...
