Blink-Eye AI Reads ECGs to Flag Heart Disease in Seconds
TL;DR Summary
A team has built a “superhuman” AI that analyzes routine ECGs to detect signs of heart failure and heart valve disease within seconds. In a US trial of 67,000 patients, the AI identified up to 81% of heart-failure cases and 90% of valve-disease cases. While not a standalone diagnosis, the tool flags high-risk patients for rapid echocardiograms to speed up diagnosis and treatment, potentially cutting wait times for essential imaging and improving outcomes.
