AI Predicts Lethal Heart Rhythms with 80% Accuracy Using Large Patient Dataset
- AI tool predicted lethal heart rhythm (ventricular arrhythmia) with 80% accuracy in a study examining 270 patients' ECG data
- Tool examined "normal" heart rhythms to see if a lethal arrhythmia was possible
- Current methods for determining arrhythmia risk are insufficient, leading to preventable deaths
- Study had largest ECG dataset linked to long-term arrhythmia outcomes
- AI tool performed well compared to existing medical guidelines, correctly predicting arrhythmia risk 80% of time
