For patients without A-fib, they supplied the neural network with their index ECG. Using just one ECG per patient, the neural network achieved 79.0% sensitivity and 79.5% specificity for detecting ...
As seen in our case, the ECG pattern of Brugada syndrome can be “evanescent.” The prevalence of Brugada syndrome is believed to be 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000, with higher prevalence in Far East ...

And, indeed, the 30,759 normal-EKG patients were 41 percent less likely to die while hospitalized than the 222,875 with abnormal EKGs. Still, 1,752 in the normal-EKG group died, nearly 6 percent.
The AI-enabled ECG correctly identified the subtle patterns of atrial fibrillation (even if the heart rhythm was normal) with 90% accuracy. This can potentially improve the effectiveness of ECG ...
