摘要
背景目前有多种智能设备能够根据单导联心电图(SL-ECG)自动检测心房颤动(AF)。方法这是一项前瞻性观察研究,研究对象是在一家三级转诊中心心脏科就诊的患者。我们评估了应用基于智能设备的人工智能(AI)算法检测四种市售智能设备(AliveCor KardiaMobile、Apple Watch 6、Fitbit Sense 和 Samsung Galaxy Watch3)房颤的临床价值。患者几乎同时接受了 12 导联心电图和 4 种智能设备 SL-ECG 检查。新型人工智能算法(PulseAI,英国贝尔法斯特)与各制造商的算法进行了比较。60名患者(29%)存在房颤。新型人工智能算法与制造商算法检测房颤的灵敏度和特异度分别为:AliveCor KardiaMobile 为 88% vs 81% (P = .34) 和 97% vs 77% (P < .001),AliveCor KardiaMobile 为 86% vs 81% (P = .45)和 95% vs 83% (P < .001),Fitbit Sense 分别为 91% vs 67% (P < .01) 和 94% vs 82% (P < .001),三星 Galaxy Watch3 分别为 86% vs 82% (P = .63) 和 94% vs 80% (P < .001)。此外,与制造商的算法(14%-17%)相比,使用基于人工智能算法的所有智能设备中诊断不确定的 SL-ECG 的比例(1.2%)显著降低,P < .001 结论与制造商的算法相比,新型人工智能算法在保持灵敏度和提高特异性的同时,大幅降低了诊断不确定的 SL-ECG 的比例。
Reducing the burden of inconclusive smart device single-lead ECG tracings via a novel artificial intelligence algorithm
Background
Multiple smart devices capable of automatically detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) based on single-lead electrocardiograms (SL-ECG) are presently available. The rate of inconclusive tracings by manufacturers’ algorithms is currently too high to be clinically useful.
Method
This is a prospective, observational study enrolling patients presenting to a cardiology service at a tertiary referral center. We assessed the clinical value of applying a smart device artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm for detecting AF from 4 commercially available smart devices (AliveCor KardiaMobile, Apple Watch 6, Fitbit Sense, and Samsung Galaxy Watch3). Patients underwent a nearly simultaneous 12-lead ECG and 4 smart device SL-ECGs. The novel AI algorithm (PulseAI, Belfast, United Kingdom) was compared with each manufacturer’s algorithm.
Results
We enrolled 206 patients (31% female, median age 64 years). AF was present in 60 patients (29%). Sensitivity and specificity for the detection of AF by the novel AI algorithm vs manufacturer algorithm were 88% vs 81% (P = .34) and 97% vs 77% (P < .001) for the AliveCor KardiaMobile, 86% vs 81% (P = .45) and 95% vs 83% (P < .001) for the Apple Watch 6, 91% vs 67% (P < .01) and 94% vs 82% (P < .001) for the Fitbit Sense, and 86% vs 82% (P = .63) and 94% vs 80% (P < .001) for the Samsung Galaxy Watch3, respectively. In addition, the proportion of SL-ECGs with an inconclusive diagnosis (1.2%) was significantly lower for all smart devices using the AI-based algorithm compared to manufacturer’s algorithms (14%–17%), P < .001.
Conclusion
A novel AI algorithm reduced the rate of inconclusive SL-ECG diagnosis massively while maintaining sensitivity and improving the specificity compared to the manufacturers’ algorithms.
