Early Prediction of Cardiomyopathy in Pediatric Cancer Survivors Using Echocardiographic Video-Based Deep Learning

Purpose

Cardiomyopathy (CM) is a leading cause of late mortality in childhood cancer survivors, but it is often identified only after irreversible cardiac remodeling has already occurred. In this proof-of-concept study, we assessed whether deep learning applied to routine echocardiographic videos can identify features predictive of future CM.
