Can an ordinary ECG reveal a hidden weakness of the heart? Anumana’s ECG-AI® LEF uses artificial intelligence to analyse the digital signal of a standard 12-lead ECG. It searches for subtle patterns linked to a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, meaning that the heart is pumping less effectively. These patterns can be difficult to recognize before symptoms occur.
In the Mayo Clinic’s EAGLE study involving 22,641 adults, the AI-supported approach identified 31% more cases of reduced heart function than standard care. This could enable earlier diagnosis, further testing and timely treatment.
The example shows how AI can add diagnostic value to an established medical device without changing the examination: existing ECG data becomes a tool for intelligent screening.
