ML models have overall higher discrimination and sensitivity but lower specificity than clinicians and non-ML software in ECG interpretation for the diagnosis of ACS. ML-based ECG interpretation could potentially serve a role as a "safety net", alerting emergency care providers to a missed acute MI when it has not been diagnosed. More rigorous primary research is needed to definitively demonstrate the ability of ML to outperform clinicians at ECG interpretation.
