Conflict of interest statement

Drs. Brooks’s and Barrett’s institutions received funding from Epworth Research Institute. Drs. Brooks and Kelly received support for article research from Epworth Research Institute. The remaining authors have disclosed that they do not have any potential conflicts of interest.

Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Heatmap for agreement of left ventricular function. Expert finding (y-axis) plotted against trainee finding (x-axis). The row proportion scale (right of image) defines the finding overlap (student and expert) for the expert row by gray scale density. Agreement is defined as matching category which ascends from bottom left to top right.
