Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally, with more than 19 million deaths recorded in 2021, particularly affecting the elderly population. Among the various associated pathological conditions, one of the most prominent is the reduced ability of the left ventricle to contract effectively, impairing the heart's capacity to pump blood adequately throughout the body. Clinically, this dysfunction is often manifested by symptoms of heart failure and fatigue. Thus, a rapid method of screening is essential for early detection and timely intervention. Echocardiography is the current clinical standard for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease because of its ability to provide real-time imaging and high temporal resolution.
However, assessment of left ventricular function has high intra- and inter-operator variability, which may compromise diagnostic accuracy
