Algorithms to Improve the Accuracy of the Echocardiographic Report

This observational study aims to improve the accuracy of the report of the echocardiographic study, making it more consistent with the current international guidelines and reducing the diagnostic mistakes in patients undergoing clinically -indicated echocardiography. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* can the addition of automated diagnostic algorithms help to improve the overall accuracy of the echocardiographic report?
