Electrocardiography – EKG articles from across Nature Portfolio

Jin et al. develop a deep learning-based model for diagnosing arrhythmias based on a large-scale ECG dataset. The model demonstrates cardiologist-level accuracy and can potentially improve the efficiency and accuracy of ECG detection in remote and underdeveloped areas, offering a promising prospect for telemedicine.

A biodegradable pacemaker without external leads improves the safety of temporary cardiac pacing.

Reported wearable dry electrodes have limited long-term use due to their imperfect skin compliance and high motion artifacts. Here, the authors report an intrinsically conductive, stretchable polymer dry electrode with excellent self-adhesiveness for long-term high-quality biopotential detection.

New imaging methods and biomarkers may help identify people who are at risk for heart disease but are overlooked by standard risk assessments.

New drugs and more focused therapy might cut down on atrial fibrillation and reduce the incidence of stroke.
