For heart disease, early diagnosis is vital for saving lives. For heart disease, early diagnosis is vital for saving lives. Doctors have developed a "superhuman" AI tool that can spot heart disease in less than two seconds.

The traditional ECG, which records electrical activity in the heart, including the rate and rhythm, has been a vital medical tool in diagnosing heart attacks and abnormal heart rhythms for a century.
