A UNet-architecture network is trained and validated on 507 confirmed TTS cases and 14,978 controls from the Swedish coronary angiography and angioplasty register, with cross-validation and comparison against cardiologists’ previously proposed ECG criteria. Results show strong discrimination with high sensitivity and negative predictive value, outperforming conventional criteria, while further refinement and external validation are required to improve positive predictive value for screening and ruling out TTS.","European Heart Journal-Digital Health (2025) 6, 929–938 [https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjdh/ztaf073](https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjdh/ztaf073)  \nORIGINAL ARTICLE  \nMachine learning electrocardiography model to differentiate takotsubo syndrome from myocardial infarction  \nFelicia H.

A neural network with UNet architecture was trained and validated on 507 TTS cases and 14 978 controls with suspected and verified MI, identified from the Swedish coronary angiography and angioplasty register. Cross-validation was performed. The models were compared with cardiologists using previously proposed ECG criteria. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) for discriminating TTS from patients with STelevation and non-ST-elevation MI ROC AUC 0.88 (cross-validation: 0.85–0.92) and 0.86 (cross-validation: 0.82–0.91), respectively. ROC AUC for discriminating TTS from verified MI [non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI) and ST-elevation MI (STEMI)] was 0.87 (cross-validation: 0.83–0.91) with sensitivity (0.75) and specificity (0.83) with low positive predictive value (PPV) and high negative predictive value (NPV) . Results for suspected MI was ROC AUC 0.85 (cross validation: 0.81–0.91) with sensitivity (0.75) and specificity (0.79) with low PPV (0.11) and high NPV (0.99) . The committee of two cardiologists using a combination of ECG criteria achieved an ROC AUC of 0.71.  \nConclusion Machine learning models could discriminate TTS from MI (NSTEMI and STEMI) and suspected MI with high sensitivity and NPV, outperforming cardiologists using conventional criteria. The models require further refinement to increase PPV, precision-recall and external validation, but it holds promise for TTS screening aiding the clinician in ruling out TTS.  \nAims Machine learning (ML) algorithms applied to the electrocardiography (ECG) have been successful in several cardiac diagno  \nses, however, rarely been used for the diagnostics oftakotsubo syndrome (TTS). Our aim was to develop ML-based ECGmodels to differentiate TTS from patients with myocardial infarction (MI) .  \n* Corresponding author.
