Researchers develop mobile EKG device that can identify patients at risk of sudden cardiac death
Researchers from Mayo Clinic and AliveCor Inc. have been using artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a mobile device that can identify certain patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. This research has yielded a breakthrough in determining the health of the electrical recharging system in a patient s heart.
The researchers determined that a smartphone-enabled mobile EKG device can rapidly and accurately determine a patient s QTc, thereby identifying patients at risk of sudden cardiac death from congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) or drug-induced QT prolongation.
The heart beats by a complex system of electrical signals triggering regular and necessary contractions. Clinicians evaluate the heart s rate-corrected QT interval, or QTc, as a vital health barometer of the heart s electrical recharging system.
