Researchers are developing AI that transforms ECG readings into echocardiogram images, this has the potential to change how heart disease is diagnosed and tracked as ECGs are more readily available across the country than echocardiograms are.

Then, it converts the signals to develop a speed waveform that looks exactly like the waves conventionally measured with Doppler ultrasound imaging during echocardiography. In testing at multiple clinical sites in the United States and Canada, the technology demonstrated high accuracy in detecting both diastolic and systolic dysfunction.
