The electrocardiogram and artificial intelligence: turning signals into insights in pediatric and congenital heart disease
Purpose of review Artificial intelligence applied to electrocardiography (AI-ECG) has rapidly been investigated in adult cardiovascular medicine, yet translation into pediatric and congenital heart disease populations has lagged. This review summarizes contemporary AI-ECG methodologies and emerging applications in pediatric and congenital heart disease (PCHD), with emphasis on current clinical utility, technical challenges, and future opportunities for implementation. Recent findings Recent studies demonstrate t…
Deep learning models applied to standard ECGs can accurately identify arrhythmias, ventricular dysfunction, and congenital heart disease in pediatric populations, supporting earlier detection and risk stratification.
Most AI-ECG studies in pediatric and congenital heart disease remain retrospective and single-center with limited external validation, facing challenges from small datasets and age-dependent ECG variation.
Most evidence is retrospective and single-center with limited external validation, constrained by small datasets and age-dependent physiologic heterogeneity.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0774 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.
