Q&A: AI Tool Automates Echocardiogram Assessment of the Heart's Right Ventricle

Q&A: AI tool automates echocardiogram assessment of the heart's right ventricle

A new study develops and tests DROID-RV, a deep learning model that estimates right ventricular size and function from echocardiograms, and assesses how those estimates relate to later health outcomes. Mostafa Al-Alusi, M.D., M.S., and Patrick T. Ellinor, M.D., Ph.D., of the Mass General Brigham Heart and Vascular Institute, are the lead and senior authors of a paper published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, "Deep Learning-Enabled Assessment …

Deep learning model automates right ventricular assessment from echocardiograms

Mostafa Al-Alusi, MD, MS, and Patrick T. Ellinor, MD, PhD, of the Mass General Brigham Heart and Vascular Institute, are the lead and senior authors of a paper published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, "Deep Learning-Enabled Assessment of Right Ventricular Size and Function is Associated with Cardiovascular Outcomes."

Deep learning assesses right ventricle and links findings to cardiovascular

DROID-RV estimated right-ventricular size and function from echocardiogram videos, while predictions in a primary-care cohort were associated with heart failure, atrial fibrillation and mortality.
