Video Summary

The panel discussed implementing AI-powered ECG tools in clinical practice, focusing on workflow, reimbursement, and patient selection. Speakers shared experience using Onumana’s AI ECG models, especially for detecting low ejection fraction and other structural heart disease. A major theme was that successful implementation depends less on the algorithm itself and more on aligning stakeholders, integrating with IT systems, ensuring follow-up pathways, and making the process easy for clinicians.<br /><br />Panelists agreed that starting with an enriched, high-value population—such as dyspnea, syncope, perioperative, or cardiometabolic clinics—can improve positive predictive value and help build confidence before expanding to broader screening. Administrators emphasized the need for governance, clear action plans, and measurable clinical value. They also noted that physician education and patient consent workflows are essential for adoption.<br /><br />The discussion also looked ahead to broader uses of ECG AI for identifying coronary disease, hypertension, amyloidosis, and cardio-kidney-metabolic risk. A recurring point was that AI may be most impactful at the population level, helping detect disease earlier and guide preventive care. While concerns remain about false positives, the panel argued that even “false positive” cases often reveal higher future cardiovascular risk.
