Artificial Intelligence Predicts Inherited Cardiac Arrhythmia

Artificial Intelligence Predicts Inherited Cardiac Arrhythmia Using ECG, According to University of British Columbia Research

New research conducted by the University of British Columbia reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) combined with electrocardiography (ECG) data can accurately diagnose long QT syndrome, an inherited heart disorder. Long QT syndrome affects roughly one in 7000 people, with 80% of cases linked to genetic mutations in around 15 genes. Standard ECG testing measures the heart’s electrical signals to detect irregular heartbeats.
