AI Calibration Enhances Heart Disease Detection
Groundbreaking research reveals that calibrating scores from an artificial intelligence algorithm significantly improves the identification of patients at high risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This potentially life-threatening heart condition…
Transforming cardiac care with single-lead ECG technology
Heart failure affects millions worldwide, but early detection remains challenging. A groundbreaking study published in JAMA Cardiology demonstrates how artificial intelligence can transform cardiac care using simple, single-lead…
Cardiotocography (CTG) is essential for monitoring high-risk pregnancies, yet perinatal asphyxia prediction accuracy remains limited to 50–55%. Regions of artifacts (missing valid signals)-including signal processing aberrations-possibly contribute to this limitation, highlighted by 40% of…
