arXiv:2606. 00123v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance on public medical benchmarks, yet existing evaluations often remain weak proxies for clinical use, relying on isolated inputs and simplified recognition-style tasks.

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.
