AI Model Expands ECG’s Diagnostic Potential

An AI model developed by researchers at New York-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration for use in detecting structural heart disease through electrocardiograms (ECGs), according to a news release. Known as EchoNext, the deep learning model was trained to detect a broad range of structural abnormalities, as published in Nature: The model analyzes a routine 12-lead ECG and estimates whether a patient is likely to …

Embracing AI in Medicine: The Role of Large Language Models in Healthcare

Consider the case of a pediatric patient who presents with recurrent sore throat, erythema, no tonsillar exudates, and a negative viral panel. The patient has a positive group A strep (GAS) PCR swab, however, was recently diagnosed with streptococcal pharyngitis a couple weeks ago and just finished a course of amoxicillin 7 days ago. Is this a false positive PCR test result? What is the next appropriate course of action? What is the overall incidence …
