ARISE (AI-ECG)

Artificial Intelligence-Powered Rapid Identification of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction via Electrocardiogram (ARISE)

Doente / População Intervenção / Exposição Comparação Desfecho

In 43,234 patients presenting to the emergency department or admitted to the wards of a single hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, AI-enabled ECG interpretation with an automated SMS STEMI alert to physicians reduced door-to-balloon time for STEMI compared with standard care.

Discussão e crítica

The first RCT of an AI STEMI alert, showing that automatic flagging of the ECG can shorten the time to reperfusion in an unselected emergency and inpatient population. The numbers here stem from a published summary rather than the primary abstract, and the conference presentation reported different figures (43,994 randomised and different time metrics), so all ARISE numbers need verification against the primary publication. Single-centre and open-label, with confirmed STEMI in only a small fraction of those randomised.
