ECG AI evaluation methods need fixing, paper argues

A new position paper published on arXiv argues that the current methods for evaluating ECG representation learning need significant improvement. The paper highlights that the field has overly focused on a few specific benchmarks and label types, neglecting broader clinical information encoded in ECGs. Researchers propose expanding evaluations to include structural heart disease and patient-level forecasting, alongside best practices for handling imbalanced datasets, which could alter current conclusions about model performance.

    Position: Evaluation of ECG Representations Must Be Fixed

    arXiv:2602.17531v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This position paper argues that current benchmarking practice in 12-lead ECG representation learning must be fixed to ensure progress is reliable and aligned with clinically meaningful objectives. The field has largely con…
