arXiv:2607. 00431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Forecasting models for health-signal digital twins must preserve the oscillatory, frequency, phase, and state-transition dynamics of physiological signals, yet the pointwise metrics used to benchmark them cannot detect when these fundamental properties are lost.

arXiv:2607. 13738v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background and Objective: Deep video models estimate left-ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from echocardiography with near-expert accuracy, and post-hoc attribution (Chefer relevance for transformers, Grad-CAM for CNNs) is increasingly used to certify that models "look at the right place.

arXiv:2607. 13738v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Attribution maps for echocardiographic ejection-fraction models are evaluated by their overlap with an expert left-ventricular annotation, compared against a chance level that is computed from an area ratio rather than measured.

Standardized echocardiography conclusions provide meaningful supervision for learning ECG representations of echocardiography-derived cardiac findings. Global ECG--text alignment may entangle modality-specific factors, while long-tailed finding distributions provide sparse positive supervision for low-prevalence conditions.
The paper introduces ORBIT, a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastolic and end‑systolic cardiac phases in fetal echocardiography without manual annotations. ORBIT learns a latent motion trajectory through registration, enabling orientation‑robust identification of phase transitions across diverse fetal heart positions. Evaluated on normal and congenital heart disease cases, it achieves low mean absolute errors (≈1.9–2.4 frames) and outperforms prior annotation‑free approaches that assume fixed orientations.

Echo-E$^3$Net is an anatomy‑guided spatio‑temporal neural network designed to estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from ultrasound images. It uses a dual‑phase Endocardial Border Detector to locate end‑diastole and end‑systole landmarks and an Endocardial Feature Aggregator to fuse these landmarks with global deep‑feature descriptors for EF regression. The model achieves competitive accuracy on EchoNet‑Dynamic and EchoNet‑Pediatric datasets while using only 1.55 M parameters and 8.05 GFLOPs, enabling real‑time deployment on limited‑resource devices.

arXiv:2606. 02634v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Echo-POSED, a self-supervised framework for real-time transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance that recommends probe adjustments directly from 2D ultrasound images, without the need for expert-labelled views or tracked probe trajectories.

The paper introduces the first publicly available dataset for predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from parasternal long-axis (PLAX) echocardiography, comprising over 25,000 labeled videos generated through a novel data‑generation strategy that correlates clinical notes with echocardiographic videos. Using this dataset, the authors train a reproducible PLAX‑EF model that achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 6.86%, comparable to the clinical standard of apical four‑chamber (A4C) methods. They further show that combining PLAX and A4C predictions via simple late fusion reduces MAE to 6.37%, highlighting the benefit of multi‑view integration, and they release the dataset, models, and demos for community use.
