Artificial Intelligence Driven Prehospital ECG Interpretation for the Reduction of False Positive Emergent Cardiac Catheterization Lab Activations: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Data suggest patients suffering acute coronary occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) benefit from prompt primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI). Many emergency medical services (EMS) activate catheterization labs to reduce time to PPCI, but suffer a high burden of inappropriate activations. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms show promise to improve electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. The primary objective was to evaluate the potential of AI to reduce false positive activations without missing OMI.
