Artificial intelligence cloud platform improves arrhythmia detection from insertable cardiac monitors to 25 cardiac rhythm patterns through multi-label classification.

Background: Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias and other heart diseases. Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) have been developed to continuously monitor cardiac activity over long periods of time and to detect 4 cardiac patterns (atrial tachyarrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia, bradycardia, and pause). However, interpretation of ECG or ICM subcutaneous ECG (sECG) is time-consuming for clinicians.

Artificial intelligence augments detection accuracy of cardiac insertable cardiac monitors: Results from a pilot prospective observational study.

Background: Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are indicated for long-term monitoring of patients with unexplained syncope or who are at risk for cardiac arrhythmias. The volume of ICM-transmitted information may result in long data review times to identify true and clinically relevant arrhythmias.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether artificial intelligence (AI) may improve ICM detection accuracy.
