Meta-Analysis
Do artificial intelligence algorithms based on 12-lead ECGs provide comparable or improved diagnostic accuracy for left ventricular hypertrophy compared to classical criteria?
AI algorithms for ECG-based detection of left ventricular hypertrophy offer high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy comparable to classical criteria, though broader training datasets are needed to ensure generalizability.
AI ECG algorithms match classical criteria for LVH screening but vary widely; leaves open generalizability across populations.
AI algorithms can rapidly analyze ECG data with high sensitivity. The diagnostic accuracy of AI models is variable but generally comparable to classical criteria. Clinical data and the training population of AI algorithms play a critical role in their efficacy. Future research should focus on collecting diverse ECG data across different populations to improve the generalizability of AI algorithms.

Makowska et al. (2025) conducted a meta-analysis in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. Artificial intelligence algorithms based on 12-lead ECG vs. Classical criteria was evaluated on Diagnostic accuracy. Artificial intelligence algorithms for screening left ventricular hypertrophy using 12-lead ECGs demonstrate variable diagnostic accuracy that is generally comparable to classical criteria.
