The EXamining Population-Level mORtality from the Electrocardiogram using Artificial Intelligence (EXPLORE-AI) Study
FY 2021-22
Summary
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a tool that doctors use to measure how well the heart is working. It can therefore be used to identify patients who are at a higher risk of dying from heart disease. There is some data to show that ECGs may differ between men and women. We want to use a type of Artificial Intelligence called Machine Learning to see if it can identify, based on ECG data, patients who are at a higher risk of dying when they present to an emergency department or to the hospital in Alberta.

Abstract
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a tool that doctors use to measure how well the heart is working. It can therefore be used to identify patients who are at a higher risk of dying from heart disease. There is some data to show that ECGs may differ between men and women. We want to use a type of Artificial Intelligence called Machine Learning to see if it can identify, based on ECG data, patients who are at a higher risk of dying when they present to an emergency department or to the hospital in Alberta.
