Why the study?
Does an artificial intelligence-enabled ECG algorithm improve the identification of left ventricular systolic dysfunction compared to NT-proBNP in patients presenting to the emergency department with dyspnea?
Does an artificial intelligence-enabled ECG algorithm improve the identification of left ventricular systolic dysfunction compared to NT-proBNP in patients presenting to the emergency department with dyspnea?
An AI-enabled ECG algorithm outperforms NT-proBNP in identifying left ventricular systolic dysfunction among patients presenting to the ED with dyspnea.
Should not yet change ED dyspnea evaluation; leaves open randomized validation of AI-ECG versus NT-proBNP.
The ECG is an inexpensive, ubiquitous, painless test which can be quickly obtained in the ED. It effectively identifies LVSD in selected patients presenting to the ED with dyspnea when analyzed with artificial intelligence and outperforms NT-proBNP.
