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?

COMPACS

Device

We will modify the current version of the COMPACS software package to implement several guideline-derived algorithms to help the clinician to reduce diagnostic errors and increase the adherence to current guidelines

Primary outcomes

  1. Inconsistencies between quantitative and qualitative parameters in the report

    Time frame: During analysis of echocardiographic data

    Number of inconsistencies between quantitative and qualitative parameters in the report

Secondary outcomes

  1. Inconsistencies between the clinical diagnosis and clinical guidelines

    Time frame: During analysis of echocardiographic data

    Number of inconsistent clinical diagnoses in the report and indications included in current guidelines
