Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Electrocardiogram Diastolic Function Assessment for Prognostic Stratification in Mitral Regurgitation

Nov 25, 2024

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study on using artificial intelligence (AI) in electrocardiograms (ECGs) to assess left ventricular diastolic function and predict outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation. The study demonstrates that AI-driven ECGs can offer comparable prognostic value to traditional echocardiography, identifying high-risk patients and potentially revolutionizing cardiovascular diagnostics, though challenges around sensitivity, specificity, and patient selection remain.
