Reply to DeVore, G.R. Determination of the Same Cardiac Cycle When Analyzing Cine Clips for Use by fetalHQ to Assess Intraobserver and Interobserver Variability. Comment on “Mlodawski et al. Reproducibility Challenges in Fetal Cardiac Function Analysis with 2D Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography: Insights from FetalHQ. J. Clin. Med. 2025, 14, 3301”

Key Points

• The aim is to address the consistency of cardiac cycle analysis when utilizing fetalHQ in echocardiography.
• Analysis of cine clips for cardiac cycle determination
• Evaluation of intraobserver variability
• Evaluation of interobserver variability
• Identified variability in cardiac cycle assessments
• Highlighted challenges in reproducibility among different observers
• Showed the importance of standardized methods for analysis
