Screening for RV Dysfunction Using Smartphone ECG Analysis App: Validation Study with Acute Pulmonary Embolism Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical condition where the timely and accurate assessment of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is important for patient management. Given the limited availability of echocardiography in emergency departments (EDs), an artificial intelligence (AI) application that can identify RV dysfunction from electrocardiograms (ECGs) could improve the treatment of acute PE. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed adult acute PE patients in an ED from January 2021 to December 2023. We evaluated a smartphone application which analyzes printed ECGs to generate digital biomarkers for various conditions, including RV dysfunction (QCG-RVDys). The biomarker's performance was compared with that of cardiologists and emergency physicians. Resu
