Cardiovascular ultrasound innovations being showcased at ASE 2024 meeting

More than 5,600 cardiac ultrasound measurements are now automated using artificial intelligence in the new Siemens Acuson Origin echocardiography system. It is the first echo system to use AI to help automate and anticipate next actions to greatly speed workfor and increase reproducibility between sonographers. Photo by Dave Fornell at ESC 2023

New cardiac ultrasound advances, from AI to completely study workflow, new 3D/4D catheters, virtual reality simulators, to robot-assisted ultrasound, will be presented on the expo floor of ASE 2024 this weekend in Portland.

Using ECG AI to find the cardiac amyloidosis needles in the haystack

Early detection of cardiac amyloidosis is leads to the best outcomes, but it is often missed until later stages. AI is being developed to help detect these patients earlier using ECG and echo.
