Overview
- Peer-reviewed findings appear in NEJM AI, detailing the model’s performance and methodology.
- The tool significantly outperformed previous EKG-based AI across diagnostic tasks, including myocardial flow reserve prediction.
- Accuracy with resting EKGs was strong, with only minimal additional gain from exercise stress tests.
- Researchers say the approach could help flag patients for advanced imaging in settings without PET or other specialty scanners.
- Coronary microvascular dysfunction is often missed in routine evaluations, and roughly 14 million people seek care for chest pain in the U.S. each year.
