Echocardiography-Based Deep Learning Model to Differentiate Constrictive Pericarditis and Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

JACC Cardiovasc ImagingPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

With a standard apical 4-chamber view, our artificial intelligence model provides a platform to facilitate the detection of CP, allowing for improved workflow efficiency and prompt referral for more advanced evaluation and intervention of CP.

Study context
