A study by researchers from Mayo Clinic recently published in the International Journal of Cardiology found that a deep learning artificial intelligence algorithm using a standard 12 lead electrocardiogram was able to detect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in young people with impressive accuracy. This accuracy was particularly strong among adolescents aged 15 – 18.
