Echocardiography has been in wide use over the past decade in most cardiac diseases for both diagnostic and prognostic purposes. This is because of its portability, high temporal resolution, absence of radiation, and low costs. It is also true that image analysis, including quantification and reporting, has become extensively resource-sensitive and time-consuming. The recent advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has created an environment in which AI confers the ability for automation, image acquisition, analysis, and interpretation in a more predictive manner. In spite of a few challenges that are yet to be overcome, AI in echocardiography seems to be promising because of its benefits obtained from automated analysis and interpretation.
