Researchers have developed an AI model capable of diagnosing bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) from standard echocardiography videos. The model, a stacked ensemble of multiple video backbones, achieved a high F1-score of 0.907 and recall of 0.877 in distinguishing BAV from tricuspid aortic valves (TAV). Explainability features like Grad-CAM and SHAP values were integrated to localize diagnostic evidence and quantify the contribution of different model components, allowing for transparent case-level audits. This AI tool could aid in earlier BAV detection, particularly in settings with limited specialist expertise. AI
