…morphology, which replaces the sharp negative S wave seen in the low risk beat — the previously undescribed biomarker identified by the deep learning model. Predicting…

ECG interpretation method, adults

…There must be a limb lead with an amplitude 5 mm and an amplitude 10 mm in some chest lead (otherwise low voltage is present)…

Nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (defect)

…participants with baseline ECG examinations. Individuals with nonspecific intraventricular conduction delays were at particularly high risk of death due to arrhythmias. Note that other causes…

Cardiac tumors

…perivalvular (adjacent to the valves), etc. Cardiac tumors cause nonspecific symptoms that depend on the size of the tumor, localization, hemodynamic effects and possible impact…
