Etiological DiagnOsis of caRdiac Diseases Based on echoCardiograpHIc Images and Clinical Data.

Research hypothesis - Recent studies have shown that high-dimensional descriptors of the cardiac function can be efficiently exploited to characterize targeted pathologies. In this project, the investigators hypothesize that echocardiograms possess a wealth of information that is currently under-exploited and that, combined with relevant patient data, will allow the development of robust and accurate digital tools for etiological diagnosis. Objectives - Based on key advances recently obtained in image analysis, notably by members of the consortium, the objective of this project is to develop rigorous and explainable cardiac disease prediction models from echocardiography based on the transformer paradigm (AI). The strength of this study lies in the development of a strong AI framework to model the complex interactions between high-quality image-based measurements extracted from echocard
