For how we live.
In 17,685 footballers, borderline ECG findings predicted almost no disease. Across 360 studies of female athletes, screening concentrated on mental health while menstrual and pelvic floor health went largely unasked.
Across 16,893 high school athletes screened over 15 years, 0.36% had T-wave inversions. Four were later found to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the young.
Trained on 1.7 million ECGs paired with clinicians' report text, ECG-CLIP reached the same accuracy as the best comparator with about 90% less training data — a bid at the field's labelling bottleneck.
A survey of all 211 FIFA member associations found screening near-universal in South America and rare in Oceania, with youth screening starting anywhere from age 6 to 17.
EchoNext scored 77.3% accuracy on a 150-ECG set where 13 cardiologists averaged 64.0%. Its authors released the model weights and a 100,000-ECG labelled dataset alongside the paper.
