ECG-LLM: Foundation Model for ECG-Based Cardiac Reasoning

arXiv:2607. 16323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electrocardiography (ECG) is an inexpensive, standard-of-care test for cardiac symptoms, but front-line triage often lacks immediate access to definitive imaging such as echocardiography (ECHO) or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

ImputeECG: Deep Learning Reconstruction of Complete 12-Lead Electrocardiograms from Incomplete Recordings for Cardiac Assessment

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.

Autoregressive EHR Foundation Models with Multimodal Inputs

arXiv:2607. 22264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive foundation models trained on tokenized electronic health records (EHRs) can support zero-shot clinical prediction, yet most operate on structured event codes alone, and do not incorporate multiple modalities in a principled way.

Automated ECG Interval Measurement and Wave Delineation Using Fast Fourier Convolution ResNet

arXiv:2608. 00058v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate measurement of ECG intervals, including PR, QRS duration, and QT/QTc, is central to cardiac diagnosis, yet the published ECG delineation literature evaluates performance almost exclusively as fiducial-point timing errors on small curated databases, rather than as clinical interval accuracy on large unselected cohorts.
