Session Description

This talk will showcase a recent study published in Nature Medicine that demonstrated the effectiveness of AI-guided screening to diagnose left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in an obstetric population in Nigeria. This trial found that, in pregnant and postpartum women, AI-guided screening using a digital stethoscope improved the diagnosis of pregnancy-related cardiomyopathy. This study highlights several key advantages of this screening modality, particularly in a low-to-middle-income country such as Nigeria, as well as potential improvements in screening practices and risk stratification that may likely be translated to other settings.
