This transformation extends to the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms developed by startups, which analyze medical imaging data such as ECGs, echocardiograms, and cardiac MRI scans. These algorithms, trained on large datasets, recognize patterns and features associated with heart diseases.
Previously it was thought that this was only beneficial in 1 6 hour window, some studies are suggesting that it could be beneficial even if performed beyond 6 hours (up to 16 hours) The next step is to study the heart in detail. All patients should have a 12 lead ECG and be put on a 24 hour heartmonitor whilst in hospital.
The problem with both these tests are that they study the heart at rest and sometimes abnormalities may be picked up only when the heart is stressed and therefore combining these modalities with a stress test can be even more helpful and by far the best form of stress is exercise.
So today i wanted to talk to you about what each heart test tells us about these different aspects of heart disease Tests that tell you about the heart as a pump The most commonly used test to assess the heart as a pump is an echocardiogram. A simple standard 12 lead ECG can be helpful.
