BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most important diagnostic tools for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Recent studies show that deep learning models can be trained using labeled ECGs to achieve automatic detection of CVDs...
BACKGROUND: Hyperkalemia, characterized by elevated serum potassium levels, heightens the risk of sudden cardiac death, particularly increasing risk for individuals with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Traditional laborator...
Many studies have shown the utility and promise of artificial intelligence (AI), for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis to compare the accuracy of AI tools to electrocardio...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Integrating domain knowledge into deep learning models can improve their effectiveness and increase explainability. This study aims to enhance the classification performance of electrocardiograms (ECGs) by customizing specif...
Feature attribution methods can visually highlight specific input regions containing influential aspects affecting a deep learning model's prediction. Recently, the use of feature attribution methods in electrocardiogram (ECG) classification has been...

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that analysis of serial ECGs could predict new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) more accurately than analysis of a single ECG by detecting the subtle cardiac remodeling that occurs immediately before AF occurrence. Our aim i...
Arrhythmia is the main cause of sudden cardiac death, and ECG signal analysis is a common method for the noninvasive diagnosis of arrhythmia. In this paper, we propose an arrhythmia classification model based on the combination of a channel attention...
BACKGROUND: Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) initiates heart failure, and promptly identifying low ejection fraction is crucial for managing progression and averting mortality. In this study we developed an artificial intelligence-en...
