Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiology (DAIC): Improving Heart Valve Disease Detection

Diagnostic and Imaging Cardiology (DAIC) reports on new research showing how Eko's AI-enabled digital stethoscope dramatically outperforms traditional stethoscopes in detecting valvular heart disease — catching murmurs linked to moderate-to-severe VHD with over 92% sensitivity, compared to less than half that with conventional devices.

The article explores how earlier detection in primary care could reshape referral patterns, ease the burden on cardiology practices, and help close care gaps for patients in rural or underserved areas.
