Artificial intelligence predicts undiagnosed atrial fibrillation in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source using sinus rhythm electrocardiograms

HeartRhythm

Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled sinus rhythm (SR) electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation can aid in identifying undiagnosed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS).

Case Report: Complete atrioventricular block in an elderly patient with acute pulmonary embolism

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Multiple abnormal electrocardiographic findings have been documented in patients experiencing acute pulmonary embolism. To date, only a limited number of cases involving a complete atrioventricular block have been reported in acute pulmonary embolism.

Abstract WP287: AI-ECG Algorithm Outperforms CHA2DS2-VASc in Prediction of Occult Atrial Fibrillation Detection on Prolonged Cardiac Monitoring Following Cerebral Infarction

Stroke Journal

Therefore, we aimed to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled ECG algorithm to predict AF detected by PCT after index stroke.Methods:This retrospective study included all adult patients with ischemic stroke evaluated at Mayo Clinic with baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) and PCT between 2018-2020.

A man in his early 40s with chest pain a "normal ECG" by computer algorithm. Should we avoid interrupting a physician to interpret his ECG?

And they of course activated the cath lab immediately, where he was found to have acute thrombotic occlusion (TIMI 0) of the proximal LAD, as well as embolic D1 occlusion. Instead, they reviewed the ECG immediately regardless of the computer interpretation of "normal." LCX and RCA were described as "normal" in the cath report. Am J Emerg Med.

Understanding an Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

MIBHS

Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart and can help detect abnormalities in the heart’s rhythm that might contribute to enlargement. Blood Clots: An enlarged heart is more prone to developing blood clots, which can lead to stroke or pulmonary embolism.
