Analysis of the variation in computer interpretation of Myocardial Infarction by using smartphone-based ECG devices

Description

ECGs are crucial for monitoring heart health, especially in detecting arrhythmias and conduction issues. They play a vital role in diagnosing ST-elevated myocardial infarctions (STEMI). However, the accuracy of computer-generated ECG interpretations is often questioned. In this study, we compared two such ECG interpretation platforms with cardiologist diagnoses on 12-lead ECGs. Out of 309 participants, only one case was falsely diagnosed as negative, and one case falsely as positive by the Spandan ECG platform compared to the cardiologist's diagnosis. The overall trial demonstrated remarkable sensitivity (99.5%), specificity (98.7%), negative predictive value (98.7%), and positive predictive value (99.5%).
