Does ECG-CLIP improve the diagnosis of cardiac conditions from 12-lead electrocardiograms compared to supervised models?
ECG-CLIP enables flexible, text-based diagnosis of cardiac conditions from 12-lead ECGs without relying on labeled data, potentially expanding global access to expert-level interpretation.
= 0.934), including remarkable zero-shot performance for pediatric patients despite no pediatric training cases. Direct comparison showed ECG-CLIP approached supervised models while providing broader diagnostic coverage. Demographic analysis revealed U-shaped age-dependent performance and condition-specific sex-age patterns. By eliminating dependence on labeled data, ECG-CLIP enables diagnosis of various cardiac conditions via text-based queries. This paradigm shift from rigid task-specific models to flexible unified systems addresses critical deployment barriers, potentially expanding global access to expert-level ECG interpretation.
