Cardiac analysis (12-lead ECG) indicated the patient had Brugada-like ECG (Figure 1) and was diagnosed by a cardiologist as also having a short QT interval (QT=320 ms, HR=71 bpm).

Applying artificial intelligence to the ECG may make it possible to screen patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for hyperkalemia without making them get a blood test, a study showed ...
