   2 outlets · first: financialcontent.com AI models

   Machine summary Tempus's ECG-PH AI model analyzes raw 12-lead ECG waveforms for binary signs associated with elevated mPAP >20 mmHg, receiving FDA 510(k) clearance and marking the company's third cardiovascular AI device.

   2. Pulmonary hypertension affects roughly 1% of the general population and up to 10% of adults over 65, but diagnosis often requires invasive right heart catheterization and echocardiography.
   3. The device is indicated for patients 40 years or older with cardiovascular symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, or edema and no known history of pulmonary hypertension.
   4. Tempus ECG-PH is not intended as a stand-alone diagnostic tool for pulmonary hypertension.
   5. Brandon Fornwalt, MD, PhD, SVP of Cardiology at Tempus, said the device reflects a broader goal of using AI to identify patients across the spectrum of cardiovascular disease.
