Sumario: | Cardiovascular risk factors, biomarkers, and diseases are associated with poor prognosis in COVID-19 infections. Significant progress in artificial intelligence (AI) applied to cardiac imaging has recently been made. We assessed the utility of AI analytic software EchoGo in COVID-19 inpatients. Fifty consecutive COVID-19+ inpatients (age 66 ± 13 years, 22 women) who had echocardiography in 4/17/2020–8/5/2020 were analyzed with EchoGo software, with output correlated against standard echocardiography measurements. After adjustment for the APACHE-4 score, associations with clinical outcomes were assessed. Mean EchoGo outputs were left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) 121 ± 42 mL, end-systolic volume (LVESV) 53 ± 30 mL, ejection fraction (LVEF) 58 ± 11%, and global longitudinal strain (GLS) −16.1 ± 5.1%. Pearson correlation coefficients (p-value) with standard measurements were 0.810 (<0.001), 0.873 (<0.001), 0.528 (<0.001), and 0.690 (<0.001). The primary endpoint occurred in 26 (52%) patients. Adjusting for APACHE-4 score, EchoGo LVEF and LVGLS were associated with the primary endpoint, odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 0.92 (0.85–0.99) and 1.22 (1.03–1.45) per 1% increase, respectively. Automated AI software is a new clinical tool that may assist with patient care. EchoGo LVEF and LVGLS were associated with adverse outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and can play a role in their risk stratification. |
