Assessment of an Artificial Intelligence Tool for Estimating LVEF in Echocardiograms

Published in the healthcare journal, Diagnotics, the authors of this article shared the following abstract: This work aims to evaluate the performance of a new artificial intelligence tool (Exo AI) to compute the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in echocardiograms of the apical and parasternal long axis (PLAX) views. We retrospectively gathered echocardiograms from 441 individual patients (70% male, age: 67.3 ± 15.3, weight: 87.7 ± 25.4, BMI: 29.5 ± 7.4) and computed the ejection fraction in each echocardiogram using the ExoAI algorithm. We compared its performance against the ejection fraction from the clinical report. ExoAI achieved a root mean squared error of 7.58% in A2C, 7.45% in A4C, and 7.29% in PLAX, and correlations of 0.79, 0.75, and 0.89, respectively. As for the detection of low EF values (EF < 50%), ExoAI achieved an accuracy of 83% in A2C, 80% in A4C, and 91% in PLAX. Our results suggest that ExoAI effectively estimates the LVEF and it is an effective tool for estimating abnormal ejection fraction values (EF < 50%). Importantly, the PLAX view allows for the estimation of the ejection fraction when it is not feasible to acquire apical views (e.g., in ICU settings where it is not possible to move the patient to obtain an apical scan).

Is POCUS Cost Effective?

Are POCUS devices worth it from a financial standpoint? Point-of-care ultrasound devices are cost-effective for medical facilities and patients alike.

Are Handheld Ultrasounds Accurate?

Portable ultrasounds are a catalyst for retrieving a faster and more accurate diagnosis for all patients and are highly accurate when applied to the correct use cases.

What Does a Handheld Ultrasound Do?

A handheld ultrasound machine falls under the umbrella of POCUS. It can be carried in one hand and placed in a caregiver’s pocket when not used. This portability allows physicians and nurses to scan patients.
