There is an unmet need for scalable and affordable biomarkers to stratify the risk of cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). In this hospital system-based, decade-long cohort of patients without cardiomyopathy receiving anthracyclines or trastuzumab, a validated artificial intelligence algorithm applied to baseline electrocardiographic (AI-ECG) images identified individuals with a 2-fold and 4.8-fold risk of developing any cardiomyopathy or left ventricular ejection fraction <40%, respectively. This supports a role for AI-ECG interpretation of images as a scalable approach for the baseline risk stratification of patients initiating cardiotoxic chemotherapy.
