The presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) alters clinical management and prognosis in most acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains the most common diagnostic tool to screen for LVSD, it is operator-dependent, time-consuming, effort-intensive, and relatively expensive. Recent work has demonstrated the ability of an artificial intelligence-augment ECG (AI-ECG) model to accurately predict LVSD in critical intensive care unit (CICU) patients. We demonstrate that the AI-ECG algorithm can maintain its performance in these patients with and without AF despite their clinical differences. An AI-ECG algorithm can serve as a non-invasive, inexpensive, and rapid screening tool for early detection of LVSD in resource-limited settings, and potentially expedite clinical decision making and guideline-directed therapies in the acute care setting.
左心室收缩功能障碍 (LVSD) 的存在改变了大多数急性和慢性心血管疾病的临床管理和预后。虽然经胸超声心动图 (TTE) 仍然是筛查 LVSD 的最常用诊断工具,但它依赖于操作者、耗时、费力且相对昂贵。最近的研究表明,人工智能增强心电图 (AI-ECG) 模型能够准确预测重症监护病房 (CICU) 患者的 LVSD。我们证明,尽管 AI-ECG 算法的临床差异很大,但该算法仍能在有和没有房颤的患者中保持其性能。AI-ECG 算法可以作为一种非侵入性、廉价且快速的筛查工具,用于在资源有限的环境中早期发现 LVSD,并有可能在急性护理环境中加速临床决策和指南指导的治疗。
