Cardiologists Train Large AI Model to Assess Heart Structure, Function

DAIC

Key takeaways from the study include: EchoCLIP displayed strong performance when assessing cardiac function using heart images. The foundation model could identify implanted intracardiac devices like a pacemaker, implanted mitral valve repairs and aortic valves from the echocardiogram images.
