Queen of Hearts Vs. Physicians | OMIs To Find LAD Occlusions
The JournalFeed podcast for the week of Sept 1-5, 2025.These are summaries from just 2 of the 5 articles we cover every week! For access to more, please visit JournalFeed.org for details about becoming a member.Tuesday Spoon Feed:The Queen of Hearts AI (QoH AI) model beat both emergency physicians (EPs) and cardiologists at deciding who needs immediate catheterization for certain STEMI-equivalents and STEMI-mimics—88.9% accuracy vs. ~66%—promising fewer missed occlusion myocardial infarctions (OMIs) and fewer unnecessary activations.Wednesday Spoon Feed:Reliance on STEMI criteria alone misses a substantial proportion of LAD occlusions, while expert and AI ECG interpretation achieved earlier and more accurate detection, with 100% sensitivity for LAD occlusion MI in this study.
