Imagine having an inexpensive (free?), 15-second screen for COVID-19 -- what a powerful weapon against this virus! It is possible that a neural network applied to the ECG might be that weapon. We hope to find out, but need help. @EricTopol @SurajKapa @MayoClinic Animal data suggest that days after coronavirus infection (RbCV) ECG changes are visible. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10037086 Human experience in COVID-10 patients includes ECG and rhythm changes, and troponin elevation. While non-specific to the human observer, #AI may help.
