Finding subtle signals in ECGs to predict causes of death, applying AI on ECG tracing.

Föreläsare: Markus Lingman, Thomas Wallenfeldt, Ziad Obermayer

Spår: Datadriven vård och omsorgsförbättring

Screening for myocardial infarction, stroke, sudden death can be challenging due to the low diagnostic yield of a single electrocardiograph (ECG) to detect an often fleeting arrhythmia and the cumbersome nature of prolonged monitoring. Clinical risk scores can be used to identify

patients at risk but have only modest performance. Due to these limitations, major medical societies have issued inconsistent guidelines on atrial fibrillation screening. A low-cost, widely available, and non-invasive test that facilitates identification of patients who are likely to have atrial fibrillation would have important diagnostic and therapeutic implications. For instance, up to a third of strokes have no known cause—so-called embolic stroke  of undetermined source . 


Region Halland wast research database includes all ECG’s over a 8 year period. By combining the ECG with cause of death we trained a model to predict these outcomes.
