Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) poses significant diagnostic challenges in the emergency room (ER) because of its varied clinical presentation and limitations of traditional diagnostic methods. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a deep-learning model using electrocardiogram (ECG) data to enhance AHF identification in the ER.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed the ECG data of 19,285 patients who visited ERs of three hospitals between 2016 and 2020; 9,119 with available left ventricular ejection fraction and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide level data and who were diagnosed with AHF were included in the study.

Background: The ability to non-invasively measure left atrial pressure would facilitate the identification of patients at risk of pulmonary congestion and guide proactive heart failure care. Wearable cardiac monitors, which record single-lead electrocardiogram data, provide information that can be leveraged to infer left atrial pressures.
Methods: We developed a deep neural network using single-lead electrocardiogram data to determine when the left atrial pressure is elevated.

Aim: We developed a rapid evaluation scale for pericardiectomy through a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.
Method: In this study, 262 patients with tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (102 patients) and non-tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (160 patients) were selected by convenience sampling method as participants in Hangzhou Red Corss Hospital from January 2018 to April 2023. The expert validity analysis was carried out by cross-sectional investigation combined with the results of the previous expert questionnaire to establish 12-lead ECG-based the rapid evaluate scale for pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.

Background: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiac fibrosis impacts the underlying pathophysiology of many cardiovascular diseases by altering structural integrity and impairing electrical conduction. Identifying cardiac fibrosis is essential for the prognosis and management of cardiovascular disease; however, current diagnostic methods face challenges due to invasiveness, cost, and inaccessibility.

Background: Hyperkalemia can be detected by point-of-care (POC) blood testing and by artificial intelligence- enabled electrocardiography (ECG). These 2 methods of detecting hyperkalemia have not been compared.
Objective: To determine the accuracy of POC and ECG potassium measurements for hyperkalemia detection in patients with critical illness.
