Development and External Validation of an AI-ECG Algorithm for Estimating Elevated Serum NT-proBNP Levels
Background N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a cornerstone biomarker for the diagnosis and management of heart failure, but its use may be limited by the need for blood testing and laboratory infrastructure. Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to electrocardiograms (ECGs) may offer a widely accessible, non-invasive approach to estimate NT-proBNP levels. Methods We developed a convolutional neural network incorporating residual and attention-based layers to estimate NT-proBNP levels from s…
A convolutional neural network using standard 12-lead ECGs can estimate elevated NT-proBNP levels with strong correlation and good discrimination in internal and external validation.
Prospective evidence of incremental clinical value and integration into clinical pathways is still lacking, requiring further studies.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0773 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
