New LLM framework grounds ECG diagnosis in clinical knowledge

Researchers have developed a novel multimodal LLM framework designed to improve the explainability and trustworthiness of AI-driven cardiac diagnosis using electrocardiograms (ECGs). This new approach anchors report generation in a curated clinical knowledge base, known as an ECG Interpretation Guide, to mitigate the hallucination risks associated with standard LLMs. By integrating CNN-derived insights, Grad-CAM heatmaps, and this structured guide, the framework generates diagnostic reports that are more consistent with clinical terminology and criteria, as demonstrated by a significant improvement in BERTScore on the PTB-XL dataset.

    Enhancing Explainable Cardiac Diagnosis with Guide-Grounded Multimodal LLMs

    arXiv:2607.20814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a cornerstone of cardiac as- sessment, yet clinical deployment of deep learning models remains con- strained by limited interpretability and the hallucination risk of large language models (LLMs). Exis…
