Abstract
Background and Purpose In this review we describe the use of artificial intelligence in the field of echocardiography. Various aspects and terminologies used in artificial intelligence are explained in an easy-to-understand manner and supplemented with illustrations related to echocardiography. Limitations of artificial intelligence, including epistemologic concerns from a philosophical standpoint, are also discussed. Methods A narrative review of relevant papers was conducted. Conclusion We provide an overview of the usefulness of artificial intelligence in echocardiography and focus on how it can supplement current day-to-day clinical practice in the assessment of various cardiovascular disease entities. On the other hand, there are significant limitations, including epistemological concerns, which need to be kept in perspective.
