AI algorithms gain traction in interpreting century-old ECG tests

Artificial intelligence is being integrated into the interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs), a medical test that has remained largely unchanged for a century. Companies like Viz.ai, Anumana, and AliveCor have developed AI algorithms that have received FDA clearance and are being deployed in hundreds of U.S. hospitals. While these AI tools can accurately extract signals from ECGs, some clinicians express skepticism about their reliability and await broader adoption into national guidelines before fully trusting AI interpretations for patient care.
