• An AI model at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust can flag female patients who are at higher risk of heart disease based on an electrocardiogram (ECG)
• In a study, published in Lancet Digital Health this month, researchers used AI to analyse over one million ECGs from 180,000 patients, of whom 98,000 were female
• Women whose ECGs more closely matched the typical ‘male’ pattern, such as having an increased size of the electrical signal, were more likely to be at risk of heart disease

Researchers at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust have created an AI model which can flag female patients who are at higher risk of heart disease based on an electrocardiogram (ECG).
