Heart disease spotted in 2 seconds: An artificial intelligence system can analyse ECGs to detect hidden signs of heart disease. The technology can identify subtle patterns that even expert cardiologists may miss and has shown high diagnostic accuracy for several cardiovascular conditions. It can also detect signs linked to diabetes and kidney disease from a routine ECG. The innovation could help improve early detection and prioritise patients who may need further testing.

Technology trained on millions of routine ECGs could fast-track high-risk patients for treatment

EXCLUSIVE: Research shows artificial intelligence (AI) can now tell in seconds that you probably have heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes from a routine scan or a five…
