Automated detection of low ejection fraction from a one-lead electrocardiogram: application of an AI algorithm to an electrocardiogram-enabled Digital Stethoscope.

Aims: Electrocardiogram (ECG)-enabled stethoscope (ECG-Scope) acquires a single-lead ECGs during cardiac auscultation and may facilitate real-time screening for pathologies not routinely identified by cardiac auscultation alone. We previously demonstrated an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can identify left ventricular dysfunction (LVSD) [defined as ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 40%] with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91 using a 12-lead ECG.

Discovering knowledge on pediatric fluid therapy and dysnatremias from quantitative data found in electronic medical records.

It is accepted that intravenous fluid (IVF) therapy can result in hospital-acquired dysnatremias in pediatric patients, with associated morbidity and mortality. There is interest in improving IVF therapy to prevent dysnatremias, but the optimal approach is controversial. In this study, we develop Natremia Deviation and Intravenous Renderer (NaDIR), a tool that preprocesses large volumes of electronic medical record data obtained from an academic pediatric hospital in order to analyze (1) IVF therapy, (2) the epidemiology of dysnatremias, and (3) the impact of IVFs on changes in serum sodium (ΔS(Na)).
