Heart recordings predict future blocks in electrical pathways

One-year prediction scores distinguishing future cases from noncases were 0.910 for left-sided block and 0.859 for right-sided block in a separate database.One-year prediction scores distinguishing future cases from noncases were 0.910 for left-sided block and 0.859 for right-sided block in a separate database.
