arXiv:2605. 00647v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Automated pediatric electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation remains challenging because developmental differences in heart rate, intervals, and waveforms limit the transferability of models trained mainly on adult data, while expert-labeled pediatric ECG cohorts are scarce.

arXiv:2607. 15928v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adult and pediatric electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation relies on age-sensitive criteria, and models pretrained mainly on adult ECGs often transfer poorly to pediatric populations when pediatric labels are scarce.

The study investigates whether ECG representations derived from a β-variational autoencoder (VAE) can distinguish patients with myocardial scar (LGE+) from those without (LGE-) using routine ECG data. In a cohort of 300 cardiomyopathic patients, the β-VAE achieved an AUC of 0.577 (sensitivity 0.775) with Gradient Boosting, while the foundation ECGx.AI model reached an AUC of 0.686 with Random Forest. Dynamic Time Warping reconstruction errors differed significantly between classes in most leads and improved classification to an AUC of 0.643 with Logistic Regression, suggesting these errors could serve as markers of scar-related ECG changes.

The paper presents a new labelled ICU dataset and benchmarks for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) from electrocardiograms (ECGs). It compares three AI approaches—feature‑based classifiers, deep learning, and ECG foundation models—across Canadian ICU data and the 2021 PhysioNet challenge, finding that ECG foundation models with transfer learning achieve the highest F1 score (0.89). The study demonstrates the feasibility of automated AF monitoring in ICU settings and provides resources for further research.

arXiv:2607. 05009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Complete digital 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) are essential for AI-enabled cardiovascular assessment, yet many clinical ECG records, particularly those digitized from ECG images, remain incomplete because of short display formats, incomplete waveform digitization, lead loss, or signal corruption.

arXiv:2607. 27404v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing benchmarks for electrocardiogram foundation models primarily evaluate downstream predictive performance, providing limited insight into whether their internal representations can be faithfully decomposed, clinically interpreted, or reproduced across independent analyses.
