AI tools show promise in detecting early heart dysfunction in women

One of the advanced tests that evaluates the function of the heart is myocardial infarction.

Engineers develop wearable heart attack detection tech

Every second counts when it comes to detecting and treating heart attacks. A new technology may be able to identify heart attacks faster and more accurately than traditional methods.

AI tools show promise in detecting early heart dysfunction in women

This study evaluated the performance of an artificial intelligence–enabled electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) and an AI-powered digital stethoscope to see how well they could detect early signs of heart dysfunction in women of reproductive age.

AI-ECG aids early heart issue detection in women

Every year, some mothers die after giving birth due to heart problems, and many of these deaths could be prevented. The ability to screen for heart weakness before pregnancy could play a crucial role in identifying women who may need additional care to improve pregnancy outcomes. Mayo Clinic researchers, led by Anja Kinaszczuk, D.O., and Demilade Adedinsewo, M.D., tested artificial intelligence (AI) tools, using recordings from an electrocardiog…

Three moms share how they survived pregnancy related heart failure and symptoms to look for

While many view pregnancy as not only natural but a beautiful part of the human experience, it can be easy to forget that pregnancy can also be extremely dangerous. The body goes through many intense changes that can really take a heavy toll: everything from gaining an extra 15 to 30+ pounds and organs being rearranged to make room for a growing fetus, to your heart pumping an excess amount of blood throughout the body. It can all take an immens…

Nicky Herrick MD; and Anushree Agarwal, MD, MBBS, highlight their study on cardiac arrhythmias in pregnancy

The BRITE-MOM study at UCSF uses wearable ECGs to detect arrhythmias in pregnant women, aiming to improve early diagnosis and maternal cardiac outcomes.
