    AI-driven tools enhance diagnostic accuracy in stress echocardiography (SE) for coronary artery disease (CAD) while reducing interobserver variability.

  • 2

    Clinicians generally view AI as an advisory tool, emphasizing the importance of transparency and the integration of AI outputs with their own judgments.

  • 3

    The study utilized a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of diagnostic agreement and qualitative surveys of cardiologists' perceptions of AI.

  • 4

    Discordance between AI recommendations and clinician judgments often leads to complex responses, influenced by clinicians' confidence and patient condition severity.

  • 5

    Understanding AI-clinician interactions in cardiac care is crucial for effective implementation, particularly in time-sensitive decision-making scenarios.
