health π€ AI spots hidden heart issues in 2 seconds
A new AI system from Imperial College London can analyze a routine ECG in under two seconds to detect hidden heart failure or valve disease. This technology was presented at the European Society of Cardiology annual congress in Munich. In a US study of 67,000 patients, the AI found 81% of heart failure and 90% of valve disease cases. Researchers see this as a screening tool to help hospitals prioritize echocardiograms. Further testing is needed before this system becomes a routine clinical tool. π©Ί
