The paper introduces the first publicly available dataset of over 25,000 parasternal long‑axis (PLAX) echocardiography videos labeled for left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), created through a novel data‑generation strategy that links clinical notes to video data. Using this dataset, the authors train a reproducible PLAX‑based 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 simple late fusion of PLAX and A4C predictions reduces MAE to 6.37%, highlighting the benefit of multi‑view integration, and release the dataset, models, and demos publicly.

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.
The paper introduces a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastole (ED) and end‑systole (ES) in echocardiography by constraining the latent motion to a single‑parameter orbit, effectively modeling cardiac phase as a one‑dimensional signal. This approach yields an interpretable representation that directly identifies ED and ES, improving ED localisation and matching ES performance compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods, while using fewer training epochs and a more constrained model. The method is trained on EchoNet‑Dynamic without annotations and the code is publicly available.

EchoXFlow is a new clinical echocardiography dataset that preserves ultrasound recordings in their native acquisition geometry, offering 35,377 recordings from 666 routine-care examinations of 622 patients. Unlike existing datasets, it retains separate modality streams—including temporally resolved 1D, 2D, and 3D data, multiple Doppler modalities, and synchronized ECG—along with clinical annotations ranging from guideline-defined measurements to dense 2D myocardial contours and 3D left‑ventricular endocardial meshes. The accompanying open‑source tooling enables cross‑modal, acquisition‑aware learning tasks that are impossible with conventional scan‑converted videos, positioning EchoXFlow as a testbed for 4D vision and physically grounded multi‑modal learning.

BEAT-Net is a supervised biomimetic framework for ECG diagnosis that incorporates QRS-centered tokenization and a hierarchical architecture mirroring a cardiologist’s workflow. It processes heartbeat sequences through morphological, spatial, temporal, and transformer-based stages, achieving an AUC of 0.924 on large benchmarks while using only 0.7 million parameters. The model outperforms the 39.5‑million‑parameter HeartLang foundation model on morphological form classification and demonstrates superior cross‑dataset generalization with only 35% of the training data.

EchoDiST is an unsupervised framework for estimating myocardial motion in echocardiography, combining self‑distillation joint learning of anatomical segmentation and motion estimation with a diffusion‑conditioned network. The method uses limited anatomical annotations and stochastic perturbations during training, yet requires only a single deterministic forward pass at inference. Evaluated on three datasets, EchoDiST consistently outperforms seven other learning‑based approaches in anatomical alignment, strain assessment, and functional metrics, with statistically significant improvements across cross‑view and cross‑dataset tests.
