Abstract

The MIMIC-IV-ECHO module contains structured echocardiographic measurements and DICOM files from echocardiography exams. Structured measurements are available from 206,488 echocardiogram studies (including 179,928 transthoracic, 16,389 stress, and 10,171 transesophageal echocardiograms). These are from 91,372 unique patients who are in the MIMIC- IV Clinical Database and who had echocardiograms conducted between 2008 - 2022\. The dataset encompasses a broad range of cardiologist-recorded echocardiographic measurements, including chamber sizes and volumes, systolic and diastolic function, valvular morphology and function, aortic root and great vessel dimensions, and Doppler-derived hemodynamics. Unstructured measurements are present in the cardiologist's free-text reports, which will be made available later under the MIMIC-IV-Note module. The echocardiogram DICOMs contain more than 500,000 DICOMs across 7,243 studies from 4,579 distinct patients. This subset contains transthoracic echocardiograms for patients who appear in the MIMIC-IV Clinical Database and were admitted between 2017-2019\. A given study consists of numerous sequences of images, with each sequence representing a particular view of the patient's heart. Records in MIMIC-IV-ECHO are matched to the MIMIC-IV Clinical Database, making it possible to link to information across the MIMIC-IV modules. We have also provided information for linking the DICOMs to the structured measurements and notes where available.
