Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Early revascularization of the occluded coronary artery in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been demonstrated to decrease mortality and morbidity. Currently, physicians rely on features of electrocardiograms (ECGs) to identify the most likely location of coronary arteries related to an infarct. We sought to predict these culprit arteries more accurately by using deep learning.
