Development and multinational validation of an ensemble deep learning algorithm for detecting and predicting structural heart disease using noisy single-lead electrocardiograms

Aims: Artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can detect a range of structural heart diseases (SHDs); however, it has a limited role in community-based screening. We developed and externally validated a noise-resilient single-lead AI-ECG algorithm that can detect SHDs and predict the risk of their development using wearable/portable devices. Methods and results: < 0.05). Conclusion: We propose a novel model that detects and predicts a range of SHDs from noisy single-lead ECGs obtainable on portable/wearable devices, providing a scalable strategy for community-based screening and risk stratification for SHD.
