A team of Johns Hopkins University biomedical engineers and Johns Hopkins Medicine heart specialists have developed an algorithm that warns doctors several hours before hospitalized COVID-19 patients experience cardiac arrest or blood clots.
The COVID-HEART predictor can forecast cardiac arrest in COVID-19 patients with a median early warning time of 18 hours and predict blood clots three days in advance. It was developed with data from 2,178 patients treated at five hospitals in the Johns Hopkins Health System between March 1 and Sept. 27.
