Electrocardiogram01:29

Electrocardiogram

2.3K
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...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

797
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Background:

  • Hyperthyroidism is often underdiagnosed, leading to significant risks of heart failure and mortality.
  • Early identification of high-risk individuals is crucial for effective antithyroid treatment.
  • Electrocardiography (ECG) can reveal the heart's electrical changes associated with hyperthyroidism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI) model for detecting hyperthyroidism via ECG.
  • To assess the AI model's capability in predicting cardiovascular outcomes, including mortality and heart failure.

Main Methods:

  • A deep learning model was trained on 47,245 ECGs from 33,246 patients with available thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) measurements.
  • Overt and subclinical hyperthyroidism were defined using TSH and free thyroxine levels.
  • The model underwent internal validation (14,420 patients) and external validation (11,498 and 596 patients).

Main Results:

  • The AI model demonstrated strong performance in detecting hyperthyroidism (AUC 0.725-0.761) and overt hyperthyroidism (AUC 0.867-0.876).
  • Performance for subclinical hyperthyroidism detection was AUC 0.631-0.701, outperforming traditional machine learning models.
  • AI-identified hyperthyroid patients faced a 1.97-2.94 fold higher risk of mortality and new-onset heart failure, especially those with subclinical hyperthyroidism.

Conclusions:

  • An AI-driven algorithm effectively identifies both overt and subclinical hyperthyroidism using ECG data.
  • The algorithm enhances cardiovascular risk stratification, particularly in patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism.
  • This AI approach offers a novel tool for early detection and risk assessment in hyperthyroidism.
