AI-enabled diagnosis from an electrocardiogram image: the next frontier of innovation in a century-old technology

Heart BMJ

A hundred years ago, in 1924, Willem Einthoven won the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine for his invention of electrocardiography.

Delivery catheter system carries more physiological right ventricular septal pacing than stylet system

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

FUJI trial, we assessed the differences in electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters during RV pacing between a delivery catheter system and a stylet system and their associations with the lead tip positions. In this subanalysis of the Mt. The lead depth could have a more impact on the ECG parameters rather than the type of pacing lead.

PO-03-014 DEEP LEARNING ON THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM TO PREDICT CARDIOMYOPATHY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING NON-CONDUCTION SYSTEM PACING

HeartRhythm

In patients undergoing non-physiologic pacemaker (PM) implantation (eg, RV pacing), cardiomyopathy (CM) may develop - particularly in patients with an elevated pacing burden. In contrast to the current standard of upgrading the pacemaker only once CM develops, a strategy to predict CM before it actually develops would be advantageous.

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). Then, the current flows to an area known as the bundle of His, which divides into two branches (LBB and RBB) and is the only physiological pathway connecting the atria with the ventricles.

Association between early repolarization and vagally-mediated atrial fibrillation

HeartRhythm

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is critical to atrial fibrillation (AF) pathophysiology, but it is often difficult to differentiate vagal and adrenergic AF due to complex physiological interactions.1 2 We previously reported that ERPs were associated with increased susceptibility to AF.3

Case Report: Multimodality evaluation and clinical management of a single coronary artery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Electrocardiogram in clinic showed sinus arrhythmia with early repolarization and no ischemic changes. A 14-year-old male with no significant medical history presented with intermittent palpitations for 2–3 months that occurred at rest and were associated with light-headedness.

Unveiling the Evolution of ECG

Wellnest

Introduction Electrocardiogram has been crucial in diagnosing and monitoring cardiovascular health for over a century. In 1887, a British physiologist, Augustus Waller, recorded the first human electrocardiogram using a capillary electrometer. However, back then, no one noticed his work.
