Breakthrough Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) to aid clinicians in detecting low ejection fraction (LEF) earlier than ever before
ECG-AI LEF: FDA cleared AI algorithm to detect low left ventricular ejection fraction
ECG-AI LEF is an algorithm developed in partnership with Mayo Clinic and nference
State-of-the-art deep learning model developed using over 100,000 ECGs and echo data pairs from unique patients
Evaluated in 25+ studies studies across multiple institutions in the U.S. and internationally
PHI secure and compliant, and seamlessly integrates into existing clinical workflows
Anumana's ECG-AI LEF can detect low EF earlier, without the onset of clear symptoms or conventionally identified ECG abnormalities
Heart failure is a progressive condition affecting over 6 million people in the U.S.1 Early intervention can improve outcomes, but detection of early heart failure is challenging as patients are often asymptomatic or present non-specific symptoms.2 Identification of patients with LEF (EF≤40%) can enable clinicians to intervene earlier and prevent the progression of the disease.3 An echocardiogram, while capable of diagnosing LEF, necessitates a clear indication of cardiac abnormalities for scheduling, often entails extended waiting periods, and demands significant resources, potentially resulting in diagnostic delays.
ECG-AI LEF represents a groundbreaking shift in ECG interpretation. The ECG is a widely utilized and swiftly administered test, used in both primary and specialized healthcare settings. While it generates intricate patterns across its 12 leads, the majority of clinicians and ECG analysis machines are trained to use simple sets of linear rules to identify signs of diseases. In early heart failure stages, ECG-AI's ability to detect subtle yet complex ECG patterns surpasses those of conventional interpretation standards.

The EAGLE study, a prospective, randomized trial, utilized an early device version of ECG-AI LEF, with the same neural network. This was used by 120 primary care teams across over 22,000 unique patient encounters. The study demonstrated a 31% increase in LEF detection compared to the standard of care alone, without increasing the utilization of echocardiography. Moreover, the majority of patients where LEF was detected received additional treatments.
