Multimodal pretraining improved frozen DINO models over the uni-modal baseline, but its benefits diminished after fine-tuning, suggesting that encoder initialization and down-stream adaptation were more influential than increasingly complex echocardiographic supervision.
This work creates the first publicly available resource for predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from parasternal long-axis (PLAX) echocardiography by leveraging a time-based correlation between clinical notes and echocardiographic videos and fine-tuning view classifiers and proxy labeling.
The findings support controlled external validation under explicit image and target harmonization, while further prospective validation, calibration, and quality-control mechanisms are needed before clinical deployment.

Abstract Aims Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains underdiagnosed due to limited access to expert imaging. We developed and validated a deep-learning (DL)-based echocardiographic model adaptable to point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for scalable HCM screening. Methods and results We retrospectively analysed 134 956...

Echocardiography is the most widely used cardiac imaging modality, yet interpretation demands integrating visual evidence across global anatomy, localized structures and dynamic cardiac motion. Machine-learning models have automated individual tasks, but they are typically built for a single purpose and depend on expen...
