Artificial intelligence-enhanced comprehensive assessment of the aortic valve stenosis continuum in echocardiographyResearch in context by Jiesuck Park, Jiyeon Kim, Jaeik Jeon, Yeonyee E. Yoon, Yeonggul Jang, Hyunseok Jeong, Youngtaek Hong, Seung-Ah Lee, Hong-Mi Choi, In-Chang Hwang, Goo-Yeong Cho, Hyuk-Jae Chang

“…We performed internal (internal test dataset [ITDS], n = 841) and external validation (distinct hospital dataset [DHDS], n = 1696; temporally distinct dataset [TDDS], n = 772) for diagnostic value across various stages of AS and prognostic value for composite endpoints (cardiovascular death, heart failure, and aortic valve replacement). Findings: The DL index for the AS continuum (DLi-ASc, range 0–100) increased with worsening AS severity and demonstrated excellent discrimination for any AS (AUC 0.91–0.99), significant AS (0.95–0.98), and severe AS (0.97–0.99). …”
