Article Synopsis
- A recent study tested a machine-learning algorithm to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) using various echocardiographic views commonly available in point-of-care settings, as obtaining standard views can be challenging.
- The study involved comparing automated EF measurements against experienced echocardiographers' assessments from clinical examinations and showed good agreement, with the algorithm's accuracy being comparable to that of physicians.
- The results indicate that this algorithm can effectively classify LV function in a portable imaging setup, making it a valuable tool for point-of-care evaluations.
