Abstract

AIMS: Despite established guidelines, the echocardiographic quantification of aortic regurgitation (AR) remains challenging in clinical practice. While artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are being developed to support diagnostic assessment using echocardiography, their successful implementation will depend on understanding both current diagnostic challenges and clinician attitudes towards AI adoption. This study aimed to evaluate current practices in AR assessment, identify key challenges, and assess educational needs in AR diagnostics, while also investigating how healthcare professionals perceive AI assistance compared with human expert assessment.
