This registered multicenter study aims to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiography (AI-ECG) in detecting multi-system diseases. The research will utilize prospectively collected data from inpatient, emergency, and outpatient populations to develop ECG-based diagnostic, screening, and predictive models for multi-system diseases.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have expanded the diagnostic capabilities of electrocardiography (ECG) beyond cardiovascular diseases. Emerging evidence demonstrates that AI-enhanced ECG analysis can provide valuable insights into age, gender, mortality risk, cardiac function, and systemic conditions such as electrolyte imbalances, renal dysfunction, and thyroid disorders. These findings position ECG as a promising tool for the identification and prediction of a broad spectrum of diseases. To further investigate the underlying mechanisms linking ECG abnormalities with multi-system diseases and to develop ECG-based diagnostic, screening, and predictive models, we initiated a multi-center, prospective, observational registry study involving patients undergoing ECG examinations. The goals of the project are as follows: 1\. AI-ECG Foundation Model Development 1. Diagnosis of traditional cardiovascular diseases (e.g., arrhythmias, myocardial infarction). 2. Screening of multi-system disorders, including: Circulatory, digestive, respiratory, and nervous system diseases, Endocrine/metabolic disorders, urogenital diseases, hematologic conditions, Neoplasms and mental health disorders. 3. Prediction of new-onset conditions (e.g., atrial fibrillation, heart failure, valvular diseases, NSTEMI, ventricular tachycardia) and 1-year mortality risk. 2\. Clinical Utility \& Implementation Leveraging the portability, cost-effectiveness, and non-invasiveness of ECG, our AI foundation model enables: 1. Rapid, large-scale screening in outpatient, inpatient, emergency, and community settings. 2. Early detection of multi-system diseases, guiding targeted diagnostic workups. 3\. Mechanistic \& Interpretability Research Elucidating the diagnostic, predictive, and risk-stratification logic of AI-ECG foundation models.

RECRUITINGMulti-system disease predicting based on ECG
Evaluating the effectiveness of ECG in predicting diseases across various systems, such as circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, digestive system diseases, nervous system diseases, urogenital system diseases, endocrine and nutritional/metabolic system diseases, hematological diseases, infectious and parasitic diseases, tumors, and mental and behavioral disorders. This study initially uses the ICD-10 coding system for preliminary screening of target diseases. Subsequently, a committee of multidisciplinary clinical experts conducts a systematic review of candidate diseases based on the ICD-10 coding system framework, including the applicability of diagnostic criteria, the accuracy of ICD-10 classification, the reasonableness of exclusion criteria, and the assessment of the level of evidence.
