AI-powered ECG analysis to detect cardiac arrhythmic episodes: ECG recording and processing by AI platform

Study summary

WILLEM is a multi-center, prospective and retrospective cohort study.

The study will assess the performance of a cloud-based and AI-powered ECG analysis platform, named Willem™, developed to detect arrhythmias and other abnormal cardiac patterns. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. A new AI-powered ECG analysis platform can automatice the classification and prediction of cardiac arrhythmic episodes at a cardiologist level.
2. This AI-powered ECG analysis can delay or even avoid harmful therapies and severe cardiac adverse events such as sudden death.

The prerequisites for inclusion of patients will be the availability of at least one ECG record in raw data, along with patient clinical data and evolution data after more than 1-year follow-up.

Cardiac electrical signals from multiple medical devices will be collected by cardiology experts after obtaining the informed consent. Every cardiac electrical signal from every subject will be reviewed by a board-certified cardiologist to label the arrhythmias and patterns recorded in those tracings. In order to obtain tracings of relevant information, \>95% of the subjects enrolled will have rhythm disorders or abnormal ECG's patterns at the time of enrollment.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient presenting relevant cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac patterns (including supraventricular tachycardias, abnormal ECG patterns, ventricular tachycardias, ventricular fibrillation, pulseless electrical activity or asystole among others) that have been recorded with at least one short-term ECG medical device according to guidelines with ≥1 signal-channel. * Patient with suspected or diagnosed acute/chronic cardiac diseases (including patients with heart failure, patients with history of cardiac arrhythmias, patients with probable coronary artery diseases, patients with cardiomyopathies, patients with pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), patients with indication of pacemaker or ICD in current or short-term phase, patients participating in other interventional clinical investigation, patients with hemodynamic instability or acute coronary syndromes, pregnant patients, patients with cancer and chemotherapy, patients with life-expectancy lower than 24 months, patients with in or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation as first documented rhythm). * At least one ECG tracing that can be exported in raw data. * Signed informed consent. Patients unable to consent, it will be requested to an authorized relative. Exclusion Criteria: * Unwillingness or inability to sign study written informed consent. * Unavailable or suboptimal quality of the electrocardiographic signal in raw data.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Detection of cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac patterns in the electrocardiographic signals — real time to 7 minutes
    Willem™ heart rhythm and cardiac pattern performance compared to standard manually performed cardiologist diagnosis.
