The effect of cardiac rhythm on artificial intelligence-enabled ECG evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction prediction in cardiac intensive care unit patients

The presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) alters clinical management and prognosis in most acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains the most common diagnostic tool to screen for LVSD, it is operator-dependent, time-consuming, effort-intensive, and relatively expensive. Recent work has demonstrated the ability of an artificial intelligence-augment ECG (AI-ECG) model to...
