AI may spot deadly heart risk in a routine ECG
UC Berkeley researchers developed an AI model that can identify a hidden pattern in routine ECGs associated with sudden cardiac death. The model was trained on over 440,000 Swedish ECGs linked to mortality data and validated on separate cohorts from the United States and Taiwan. Findings suggest the approach could help detect at‑risk individuals who appear normal on standard heart screenings.
- ▪The AI system was trained using more than 440,000 ECG recordings from Sweden paired with death certificates and health records.
- ▪When tested on independent patient data from the United States and Taiwan, the model maintained its predictive performance.
- ▪Sudden cardiac death can affect people with no known heart problems, including younger athletes, making early detection crucial.
- ▪Current routine ECG interpretation may miss the subtle waveform patterns that the AI model can uncover.
