ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM-PREDICTED BIOLOGICAL AGE GAP AND MORTALITY: CAPTURING DYNAMIC RISK WITH MULTIPLE ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS

Posted by susan.d 
This sounds intuitively to be correct, Susan...to me. A single ECG is like a single CAC score. Pretty to look at, but it only tells you so much. A series done over several years is likely to indicate a progression and a delta in speed or acceleration. I don't see why we'd need AI to tell us that, though.

When I helped one of our members who had AI analysis on their overnight ECG, my opinion was the AI analysis was completely incorrect for their case (and I'm certainly not an EP).
There is AI and there is AI. The AI used to analyze ekg's for diagnosis, whether in the doctor's office or on a Karida, Apple Watch, etc,, is not as good as a human and a good ep doesn't even read the AI analysis. But this study appears different in detecting subtle signs of accelerated aging that doctors may not see in a normal ekg. And the approach seems to be validated by thousands of patients in the study.
