Spotlight on early detection of 3 heart diseases using ECG-AI
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Too often, the first sign of cardiovascular disease may be a major event like a heart attack, stroke or cardiac arrest. Now, researchers and clinicians at Mayo Clinic are using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to flag heart problems earlier, boosting the abilities of a diagnostic test tha t has been around for over a century — the electrocardiogram (ECG). Early detection of heart disease can make a significant difference in a patient's… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)

Clinical research shows AI-enabled digital stethoscope can detect pregnancy-related heart disease
New research from Mayo Clinic suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could improve the diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy, a potentially life-threatening and treatable condition that weakens the heart muscle of women during pregnancy or in the months after giving birth. Researchers used an AI-enabled digital stethoscope that captures electrocardiogram (ECG) data and heart sounds to identify twice as many cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy as compared to regular care, according to a news release from the American… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)

Wirral hospitals strike paused as workers win back pay after lengthy campaign
A strike planned for next week by more than 500 clinical support workers (CSWs) at Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has been called off after the employer agreed to UNISON’s demand for five years of back pay, says the union today (Friday).
The development follows a UNISON campaign over several months, during which workers were on strike for 13 days ahead of the latest offer.
The staff are employed at Arrowe Park and Clatterbridge hospitals.
Clinical support workers on band 2 of the NHS’s Agenda for Change pay scale should only provide personal care such as bathing and feeding.
However, UNI...
