Abstract:Cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure, are a leading cause of death globally. The early detection of heart failure through routine echocardiogram screenings is often impeded by the high cost and labor-intensive nature of these procedures, a barrier that can mean the difference between life and death. This paper presents ConFormer, a novel, light-weight, convolutional neural network based deep learning model designed to automate the estimation of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) and Left … Show more
