🧵1/Today, we published a key milestone towards AI based cardiac screening in Nature. doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-0…
EchoNext outperformed cardiologists and found thousands of high-risk patients missed in routine care. We also made a version available to the world.
1/6
🏥 Structural heart disease (SHD) is common and often missed.
What if a standard ECG could spot it—accurately, at scale, across hospitals, and patient types?
Meet EchoNext, our AI model trained on 1.2M ECG-echo pairs.
👉 Published in Nature
🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-0…
5/6
📈 We ran EchoNext prospectively on patients with no prior echocardiogram.
🔍 27% were flagged as high-risk.
🩺 In the DISCOVERY trial, EchoNext stratified risk so well that 73% of high-risk patients had undiagnosed SHD.
→ It works before disease is caught.
6/6
We're making it public.
📦 EchoNext model weights
📂 100K annotated ECGs
🧪 Code, labels, benchmarks
All released to accelerate research.
Let’s build the future of cardiovascular screening—together.

🧵 AI for Valvular Heart Disease: DELINEATE-Regurgitation Study
Excited to share our latest work on using deep learning to improve diagnosis and prediction in valve regurgitation. Let's dive in! #CardioTwitter #EchoAI @PierreEliasMD tinyurl.com/EHJDelineate (1/8)
These findings suggest our AI can help clinicians determine optimal echocardiography follow-up intervals, potentially reducing unnecessary tests and better managing patient care.
The full manuscript is now published open access in @ESC_Journals—dive deeper into methods and results: tinyurl.com/EHJDelineate
Let's continue pushing forward AI in cardiovascular care! #Echocardiography #MachineLearning #AIinHealthcare
We are looking to hire extraordinary data scientists at Mayo Clinic to work on cutting edge cardiac AI problems. Qual: strong technical background (PhD or MS) with experience in medical imaging. On-site, Rochester, MN. Apply at shorturl.at/m9USh or DM.
1/8 🧵Excited to share our latest study, published online today in Circulation! Our team at Columbia and Cornell developed the DELINEATE-MR system, an AI-based approach to improve mitral regurgitation (MR) diagnosis by echo. @circAHA @echofirst @pierreeliasMD
7/8 💪The DELINEATE-MR system was validated externally, achieving 79% accuracy and a κ of 0.80. It integrates multiple TTE views, enhancing its diagnostic precision compared to single-view models.
