The attending provider wrote “Agree with electrocardiogram interpretation”. The red arrow shows a roughly 80% stenosis of the proximal LAD. The blue arrow shows another stenosis of the LAD distal to the first diagonal branch of about 99%. The green arrow shows a 95% stenosis of the ostium of the first diagonal branch.

Supercharging the ECG: AI set to Revolutionize the Diagnostic Cardiology Market

DAIC

Signify Research has just released a deep-dive qualitative analysis of developments around the use of AI to analyze and interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs), one of the world’s most ubiquitous diagnostic tests for cardiac disease. Expect to see big and possibly unexpected things in this market in 2024 and beyond.

What if your system adopted the recommendation that a computer "normal" ECG need not be shown to the doctor?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Angiogram findings included: 95% mid RCA stenosis with occluded distal right PDA secondary to thrombus (peristent OMI). Successful drug-eluting stent placement opening up 95% mid RCA stenosis to 0% residual Nonobstructive left system disease. Queen of Hearts: The initial troponin (high sensitivity troponin I) returned less than 6 ng/L.

Abstract 4141052: Rare Combo: An Unusual Case of a 54-year-old Filipino with Coronary Artery Fistula from Left Anterior Descending Artery to Main Pulmonary Artery and Acute Cerebellar Infarct: A Cardio – Cerebral Infarction Syndrome - Case Report

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4141052-A4141052, November 12, 2024. Laboratory tests showed markedly elevated troponin I levels (>50 ng/ml) and atrial fibrillation, along with inferior wall ST elevation on the electrocardiogram. The incidence of this dual infarction is currently unknown due to its rarity.

Abstract 4140682: Clinical Case: Flipping the Script: Tackling CAD in Dextrocardia During Cardiac Catheterization

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4140682-A4140682, November 12, 2024. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a prominent S wave in the left-sided leads and a prominent R wave in the right-sided chest leads, suggesting dextrocardia. Patients usually have a normal life expectancy unless other structural heart diseases are present.
