Using an artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram model developed at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, British cardiologists at Imperial College London have been able to pinpoint specific cardiac functional problems such as heart chamber malfunctions.  The EKG-AI analysis is even able to predict, besides heart pumping malfunctions, the likelihood of future hypertension, stroke, kidney failure, and death even in patients with apparently normal cardiograms and blood pressures.  The best news is that this this AI powered EKG model boosts 44% more accuracy than current, traditional, clinical approaches.
