Diagnosis of cardiac conditions from 12-lead electrocardiogram through natural language supervision
Current AI approaches for cardiac diagnosis require condition-specific supervised learning with extensive labeled datasets, leading to fundamental scalability barriers. We developed an ECG-CLIP model, applying contrastive multimodal learning to enable zero-shot cardiac diagnosis from 12-lead ECGs using natural language supervision. Trained on 800,034 ECG-text pairs from MIMIC-IV-ECG, ECG-CLIP evaluated 18 cardiac conditions without condition-specific training. The model achieved superior performance for rhythm abnormalities (AUROC > 0.90) compared to morphological conditions. External validation demonstrated robust AUROC rank consistency (p = 0.934), including remarkable zero-shot performance for pediatric patients despite no pediatric training cases. Direct comparison showed ECG-CLIP approached supervised models while providing broader diagnostic coverage. Demographic analysis revealed U-shaped age-dependent performance and condition-specific sex-age patterns. By eliminating dependence on labeled data, ECG-CLIP enables diagnosis of various cardiac conditions via text-based queries. This paradigm shift from rigid task-specific models to flexible unified systems addresses critical deployment barriers, potentially expanding global access to expert-level ECG interpretation.
Executive Impact Summary
ECG-CLIP demonstrated competitive zero-shot performance compared to these supervised models, showing modest but consistent AUROC improvements (averaging +0.030 and +0.028 against supervised models 1 & 2 respectively) on internal testing. More substantial differences emerged in AUPRC metrics, where supervised models achieved average improvements of +0.199 and +0.183. External validation revealed condition-specific advantages, with ECG-CLIP showing markedly superior generalization for complex conditions like LBBB (+0.101 and +0.073 AUROC) and 1dAVb (+0.046 and +0.089 AUROC), enabling better overall external AUROC performance (+0.020 and +0.012) compared to supervised models.

Scalable Diagnosis of Rare Cardiac Conditions
The Problem:
Traditional AI models for ECG diagnosis require extensive, condition-specific labeled datasets, leading to fundamental scalability barriers, especially for rare cardiac conditions where labeled data is scarce. Each new diagnostic capability demands separate dataset curation, model development, and regulatory approval.
Our Solution:
ECG-CLIP leverages natural language supervision to enable zero-shot cardiac diagnosis from 12-lead ECGs. By learning joint representations between ECG signals and summary reports, a single model can diagnose diverse conditions describable in natural language, eliminating the need for condition-specific training data. This flexibility allows for immediate adaptation to new diagnostic criteria or rare conditions without model retraining or data collection.
Outcome & Impact:
This paradigm shift from rigid, task-specific models to flexible, unified systems addresses critical deployment barriers and expands global access to expert-level ECG interpretation. ECG-CLIP can theoretically evaluate new cardiac biomarkers or diagnostic categories immediately through appropriate text prompts, drastically reducing the time and resources compared to supervised models.
