Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool capable of detecting heart disease from electrocardiogram (ECG) readings in under two seconds. This AI analyzes ECGs to extract subtle information that the human eye cannot typically discern, potentially speeding up the diagnosis of conditions like heart failure and valve disease. The technology, presented at the European Society of Cardiology congress, has shown high accuracy in trials and could help prioritize patients for further scans, leading to earlier treatment. AI
IMPACT Could significantly accelerate early diagnosis of heart conditions, potentially saving lives and improving patient outcomes.
