Research + Clinical Trials

Validation of System for Automated Screening for Aortic Stenosis

Aortic stenosis (AS) affects over 12.6 million adults and causes an estimated 102,700 deaths annually. There is interest in novel approaches to identify valve disease earlier the disease course before symptoms occur. We previously used machine learning (ML) to develop a system for fully automated AS screening. Here we are validating the performance of this new method for identifying AS.
