Associations between echocardiographic traits and AI-ECG predictions of heart failure
A recent study explored the relationship between echocardiographic traits and AI-ECG predictions of heart failure. The research analyzed data from over 8,000 patients to assess how well AI-ECG predictions align with established echocardiographic measures. Findings indicate that AI-ECG primarily correlates with measures of systolic function, particularly global longitudinal strain.
- ▪The study involved a retrospective analysis of ECG and echocardiography data from 8147 patients.
- ▪Global longitudinal strain showed the strongest correlation with AI-ECG predictions of heart failure risk.
- ▪Correlations varied by sex, with diastolic indices showing stronger correlations in women.
