Before the procedure, patients should have an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to check the heart’s rhythm and function. Some patients need computed tomography or transoesophageal echocardiography to exclude the presence of a blood clot in the heart. The risk of death is extremely low (0.05-0.1%).

However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. An electrocardiogram is a machine used to record the heart's electrical activity. Technological advancements have revolutionized the medical industry; now, portable ECG devices are also available. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.

Advancements in medical technology have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases, which pose critical chronic conditions that, if left unattended, can have fatal consequences. Traditional tools like stethoscopes, blood pressure gauges, and electrocardiograms (ECG) are fundamental for standard diagnostic practices.

This is radically simplifying the patient pathway for Electrocardiogram (ECG) tests. For instance, the average waiting time for an echocardiogram at Turin’s Molinette Hospital was 31 days in 2016 and an even longer 53 days for a Holter ECG. Conclusion Across Europe, many healthcare systems are facing similar challenges.

The study assessed the model's ability to analyze heart sound and single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data recorded via a digital stethoscope to identify individuals with actionably low EF (EF40%). Effective therapies for HFrEF exist and have been proven to improve patient outcomes when initiated early. and 78.3%, respectively.
