Abstract: ECG-enabled stethoscopes (ECG-steth) can acquire single-lead ECGs during cardiac auscultation, and may facilitate real-time screening for pathologies not routinely identified during physical examination (eg, arrhythmias). We previously demonstrated an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm applied to a 12-lead ECG (ECG-12) can identify low ejection fraction (EF).
