Electrocardiogram01:29

Electrocardiogram

2.4K
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a critical diagnostic tool that records the electrical signals produced by the heart during each heartbeat. This recording is achieved through electrodes placed strategically on the arms, legs, and chest. The electrocardiograph amplifies these signals and produces 12 distinct tracings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the heart's electrical activity.
Three major waveforms are present in a typical ECG recording: the P wave, the QRS complex, and...

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals

606
Introduction
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
Parts of an ECG
An ECG utilizes electrodes on the skin...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System II:Types of Echocardiography

274
Echocardiography plays a role in assessing cardiac health and detecting heart conditions, with various types providing critical insights for diagnosis and treatment.
Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A deep learning model (DLM) using electrocardiograms (ECGs) shows promise for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE). Misclassified non-PE patients by the DLM faced higher mortality and hospitalization risks.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Background:

  • Early diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is challenging.
  • Electrocardiograms (ECGs) and D-dimer levels are current screening tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Develop a deep learning model (DLM) for PE detection using ECGs.
  • Investigate the clinical significance of false-positive DLM predictions in non-PE patients.

Main Methods:

  • Trained a DLM on 113 PE and 51,456 non-PE ECGs.
  • Validated the DLM on an independent set of 27 PE and 13,105 non-PE cases.
  • Compared DLM performance against physicians using ROC curves, sensitivity, and specificity.

Main Results:

  • DLM achieved 70.8% sensitivity and 69.7% specificity, comparable to physicians.
  • DLM performance improved to an AUC of 0.9 with D-dimer and demographic data.
  • False-positive DLM predictions in non-PE patients correlated with increased all-cause mortality (HR 2.13) and hospitalization risk (HR 1.55).

Conclusions:

  • A DLM-enhanced ECG system can aid PE recognition.
  • DLM predictions offer prognostic insights, particularly for false-positive cases.
