Computer model assesses right heart chamber size and function
An observational study trained the model in 17,141 cardiology outpatients and validated its ultrasound heart scan assessments in two other patient groups.An observational study trained the model in 17,141 cardiology outpatients and validated its ultrasound heart scan assessments in two other patient groups.
Computational studyBiomarkers
Who was studiedPatients undergoing heart ultrasound
What changedThe model accurately estimated right ventricular diameter and identified reduced pumping function across patient test samples
The catchPrediction errors increased at extremes of right ventricular size and function
