Abstract

Artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches have become increasingly applied in the field of echocardiography to streamline diagnostic and prognostic assessments, and to support treatment decisions. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have been applied to aid image acquisition and automation. They have also been applied to the integration of clinical and imaging data. Applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches in echocardiography in conjunction with health information databases may be promising in improving the classification and treatment of many cardiac conditions. This review article provides an overview of the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches in echocardiography.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; automation; cardiovascular imaging; echocardiography; machine learning; precision medicine.
