THE BRIEF
1
Researchers at Imperial College London developed an AI model that identifies reduced heart pumping function and aortic valve disease from ECGs in under two seconds.
2
Clinical testing on two cohorts of 5,442 and 61,520 patients showed detection rates for these conditions reaching up to 90% and 81% respectively.

The British Heart Foundation, which supported the research, estimates routine NHS implementation could be two years away, pending further clinical validation.
