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.

arXiv:2608. 12695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised electrocardiogram (ECG) models are often trained on a few seconds of ECG signal and, increasingly, on discretized token sequences.

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).

BEAT-Net is a supervised biomimetic framework for ECG diagnosis that incorporates QRS-centered tokenization and a hierarchical architecture mirroring a cardiologist’s workflow. It processes heartbeat sequences through morphological, spatial, temporal, and transformer-based stages, achieving an AUC of 0.924 on large benchmarks while using only 0.7 million parameters. The model outperforms the 39.5‑million‑parameter HeartLang foundation model on morphological form classification and demonstrates superior cross‑dataset generalization with only 35% of the training data.

ECGQuest is a new benchmark that evaluates language models on the contextual knowledge required for electrocardiogram interpretation, featuring 10,904 True/False questions derived from 23 ECG references and 2003‑2025 Computing in Cardiology proceedings. The study tested 23 commercial and open‑source models, finding that zero‑shot accuracy ranged from 49.5% to 74.4% and that fine‑tuning with Low‑Rank Adaptation improved all open‑source models by 6.5–14.1%, with the best fine‑tuned model achieving 76.3% accuracy and a five‑model ensemble reaching 78.5%. ECGQuest demonstrates that parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning can enable smaller models to compete with larger commercial ones on ECG‑specific tasks.
