Show abstract
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 analysis further showed that the model provides greater clinical value than default screening approaches, confirming its meaningful potential impact for clinical practice.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
