Materials and Methods Same-day CXR-TTE pairs obtained between January 2016 and September 2021 were retrospectively collected for model development. Counterfactual learning was applied to enhance model performance and interpretability. External testing included one tertiary referral center cohort and two health checkup cohorts. Discrimination was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC), and DLLV-based prescreening was evaluated by estimated TTE reduction and missed-case burden. Results The development dataset included 24,674 patients (32,135 CXR-TTE pairs); external cohorts included 5440, 28,034, and 6085 patients (53\u201362% male). DLLV achieved an AUC of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.84, 0.88) for LVEF \u2264 40% in the tertiary referral cohort. In health checkup cohorts, AUCs were 0.92\u20130.97 for LVEF \u2264 40%, with AUPRCs of 0.04 in both cohorts, corresponding to 87-fold (95% CI: 16, 404) and 37-fold (95% CI: 3, 251) enrichment over baseline prevalence. Counterfactual reinforcement learning produced heatmaps with greater heart localization precision ( P &lt; .001 for all) and higher AUC for LVEF &lt; 50% ( P = .04). DLLV-based prescreening estimated TTE volume reductions up to 85% while identifying all 12 and 7 individuals with LVEF \u2264 40%. Conclusion DLLV identified reduced LVEF on CXRs across external test cohorts and showed potential as a prescreening tool for selective TTE in health checkup populations. \u00a9RSNA, 2026<\/jats:p>\n
