A new study published in the journal Sleep proposes using artificial intelligence to analyze overnight electrocardiograms (ECGs) for cardiovascular risk assessment. Researchers adapted a deep neural network, initially trained for arrhythmia detection, to identify patterns in nocturnal ECG data that correlate with future cardiovascular issues. The model was trained on data from over 15,000 patients and validated on two separate cohorts totaling over 22,000 patients from different hospitals. The findings suggest that AI-derived scores from overnight ECGs are significantly associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure, even when accounting for other clinical factors.
