DocTalk Podcast: Using AI to Read ECGs with Dr. Kapa

As technology in medicine continues to grow by leaps and bounds, the onus on incorporating it in a manner that benefits both patients and physicians has never been greater. A recent study into use of artificial intelligence (AI) to predict overall health using 12-lead ECG readings is one of many examples in cardiology where physicians are looking to do just that. Suraj Kapa, MD, cardiac electrophysiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, was the lead investigator of that study and he is the subject of this episode of the DocTalk Podcast. I'm Patrick Campbell, associate editor with MD Magazine, and I will be your host for this edition of DocTalk as we discuss using AI to determine overall physical health from 12-lead ECG readings with Dr. Kapa. Welcome to DocTalk, Dr. Kapa, if you wouldn't mind introducing yourself to our audience and telling us a little bit about your background, and listing any relevant disclosures you have before we begin, then we can dive into our chat.
