Significant interobserver and interstudy variability occurs for left ventricular (LV) functional indices despite standardization of measurement techniques. Artificial intelligence models trained on adult echocardiograms are not likely to be applicable a pediatric population. We present EchoNet-Peds, video-based deep learning algorithm, which matches human expert performance LV segmentation ejection fraction (EF).
