A new AI model can flag female patients who are at higher risk of heart disease based on an electrocardiogram (ECG). The researchers say the algorithm, designed specifically for female patients, could enable doctors to identify high-risk women earlier, enabling better treatment and care. Details are published in The Lancet Digital Health.
An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart and is one of the most common medical tests in the world. In their study, the researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze over 1 million ECGs from 180,000 patients, of whom 98,000 were female.
