AI Tool VA-ResNet-50 Predicts Risk of Lethal Heart Rhythm

Researchers from the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called VA-ResNet-50 that can predict the risk of lethal heart rhythm in individuals. The tool analyses Holter electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken from adults during their daily routines and can identify ventricular arrhythmia (VA), a condition that can lead to sudden death if not treated promptly. The AI tool correctly identified VA in 80% of cases where patients experienced lethal arrhythmias. Current clinical guidelines for assessing …
