Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The Queen of Hearts (QoH) ECG artificial intelligence model has demonstrated improved sensitivity for detecting occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) compared with STEMI criteria, but further validation is needed. We aimed to evaluate QoH's diagnostic performance in patients with chest pain at Swedish emergency departments (EDs). METHODS: This retrospective analysis included consecuti…
