AI fitness estimates from heart recordings linked to death risk
In 5,398 patients, estimates were off by an average of 4.87 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram per minute compared with exercise-test measurements.In 5,398 patients, estimates were off by an average of 4.87 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram per minute compared with exercise-test measurements.
