Tombstone Pattern Electrocardiogram in a Young Woman

JAMA Cardiology

Electrocardiogram results showed sinus tachycardia, QRS widening, low-voltage complexes, and ST-segment elevation. A woman in her mid-20s presented with acute fever, chest pain, and exertional dyspnea. What would you do next?

Researchers achieve contactless electrocardiogram monitoring

Medical Xpress - ECG

Chen Yan and researcher Sun Qibin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) achieved contactless electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring through a millimeter-wave radar system. Recently, a team led by Prof. Their work was published in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing and reported by IEEE Spectrum.

Artificial intelligence predicts undiagnosed atrial fibrillation in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source using sinus rhythm electrocardiograms

HeartRhythm

Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled sinus rhythm (SR) electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation can aid in identifying undiagnosed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS).

New AI tool simplifies heart monitoring: Fewer leads, same accuracy

Science Daily - Heart Disease

To diagnose heart conditions including heart attacks and heart rhythm disturbances, clinicians typically rely on 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) -- complex arrangements of electrodes and wires placed around the chest and limbs to detect the heart's electrical activity.

Automatic detection of cardiac conditions from photos of electrocardiogram captured by smartphones

Heart BMJ

Background Researchers have developed machine learning-based ECG diagnostic algorithms that match or even surpass cardiologist level of performance. However, most of them cannot be used in real-world, as older generation ECG machines do not permit installation of new algorithms.
