Scientists use AI to make inexpensive heart disease symptom detector

US-based Mayo Clinic researchers have applied artificial intelligence (AI) to existing electrocardiogram (EKG) test to develop a system which detects ‘asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction’ (ALVD). ALDV is a precursor to heart failure. Researchers said, “The accuracy of the AI/EKG test compares favourably with other common screening tests.” Researchers added, ALVD is treatable when identified.
