Low ejection fraction (EF), an indicator of impaired heart function, often goes undiagnosed and can lead to avoidable heart failure and arrhythmias. We developed and externally validated a deep learning model for detecting low EF from 12-lead electrocardiograms. The model achieved 85.8% sensitivity and 83.0% specificity on an independent validation cohort, with consistent results across demographic subgroups. These findings supported FDA 510(k) clearance of the model. Clinical net benefit analys...
