Edenbrandt Agreement between Artificial Neural Networks and Human Expert for the Electrocardiographic Diagnosis of Healed Myocardial Infarction Journal of the American College of Cardiology 28, 1012-1016 (1996) Abstract: An artificial neural network that is used as a classifier can, under certain circumstances, indicate a Bayesian probability for a correct classification. The purpose of this study was to compare probability estimates of myocardial infarction from a neural network to those of an experienced electrocardiographer. The study was based on 1664 electrocardiograms from 351 healthy volunteers and 1313 patients with a history of chest pain. The results show that a feed-forward neural network can be trained to diagnose healed anterior myocardial infarction at high levels of specificity and sensitivity, in good agreement with an expert electrocardiographer.
