#56 - How Deep Learning Finds Hidden Clues In A Standard EKG
Sudden cardiac death is the nightmare scenario: someone feels fine, then a lethal arrhythmia hits without warning. The problem is not a lack of tests, it is that our best screening tools still miss too many people. We talk through how clinicians use left ventricular ejection fraction to estimate risk and decide who might need an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, then confront the uncomfortable truth that EF creates false positives and false negatives when the underlying causes are more diverse than one number can capture.
From there, we shift to the ECG as an underused goldmine. We…
