Abstract

BACKGROUND: The accuracy of electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation by doctors are affected by the available clinical information. However, having a complete set of clinical details before making a diagnosis is very difficult in the clinical setting especially in the early stages of the admission process. Therefore, we developed an artificial intelligence-assisted ECG diagnostic system (AI-ECG) using natural language processing to provide screened key clinical information during ECG interpretation.
