Ligence Heart receives FDA 510(k) clearance
Lithuania, November 26th, 2025 – Ligence announces that its AI-powered echocardiography software, Ligence Heart, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance. Ligence Heart, is an AI-powered software that automates measurements and analysis of 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) images and produces a structured report with several key cardiac structural and functional parameters. The clearance enables […]
AI successfully automates heart chamber quantification during stress echocardiography
A new study published in the European Heart Journal – Digital Health demonstrates the feasibility of using artificial intelligence for fully automated quantification of heart chambers during pharmacological stress echocardiography. The research validated AI-based analysis against manual measurements performed by expert echocardiographers, showing strong agreement across key parameters. The AI system automatically identified and measured […]
Ligence study published in Echocardiography (Wiley)
Ligence’s latest manuscript has been published in the US-based journal Echocardiography (Wiley). The study evaluated Ligence’s AI-powered software for the automated assessment of left ventricular diastolic function. Using data from 302 patients, the results demonstrated strong alignment with expert evaluations and further confirmed the potential of AI in clinical echocardiography Key findings The study reinforces […]
Ligence Heart validated in study from John Paul II Hospital in Krakow
Ligence Heart has been validated in original research conducted in the lab of Prof. Andrzej Gackowski at the John Paul II Hospital in Krakow. The study has been published in the Polish Archives of Internal Medicine (PAIM), marking another step forward in validating AI for echocardiography. The research compared left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measurements […]
Validating AI for fully automated LV mass measurement in echocardiography
A new study published in the European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging validates a fully automated AI system for measuring left ventricular (LV) mass in echocardiography against both human experts and CT, the current gold standard. The research, led by Kruno Sveric and colleagues at the University Clinic, Technische Universität Dresden, involved 164 patients with […]
Ensuring the path to correct AS diagnosis – is AI an adequate and promising tool?
Aortic stenosis might look straightforward on paper, but in reality it’s one of the most misclassified conditions in echo. Getting consistent measurements depends heavily on operator skill and which views get selected. That’s exactly what Dr. Roxana Botan from the Heart Center at University Hospital Dresden set out to test with her team in a […]
AI matches expert accuracy in assessing LV diastolic dysfunction
Diastolic function is one of those areas where echo gets messy fast. Interpretation varies a lot between operators, and even experienced clinicians disagree on borderline cases. Doctor’s Juliane Friedrich’s from Heart Centre Dresden (Germany), study presented at ESC 2025 takes a swing at that problem by testing whether a fully automated AI pipeline can handle […]
AI outperforms experts in LV mass assessment: new JACC study
Artificial intelligence is setting a new benchmark for accuracy and consistency in cardiac imaging. A recent JACC Journals study, led by Sveric Kruno et al., compared AI-based echocardiography with expert evaluations for left ventricular (LV) mass assessment, validated against CT imaging. The findings: AI delivered better accuracy, diagnostic performance, and repeatability compared to manual expert […]
