This journal article discusses using deep learning algorithms to analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) data to screen for chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a major global health problem that often goes unrecognized in its early stages. The article suggests ECGs may contain alterations associated with CKD since it is commonly accompanied by cardiovascular complications. Deep learning has shown promise in identifying additional medical information from images and data beyond human experts. The study proposes applying deep learning techniques to ECGs to detect potential electrocardiographic signatures of CKD to aid early detection. Further validation research is still needed accounting for different patient populations. If successful, it could help address CKD underdiagnosis, especially among high-risk groups

Title Deep learning-based electrocardiographic screening for chronic kidney disease


Summary of the Journal Reading:

Almost 700 million individuals globally have chronic kidney disease (CKD), an important but often
unrecognized cause of morbidity and early mortality1. The initial presentation of CKD is usually
asymptomatic and without overt clinical manifestations especially in the early stages of the disease.
Recently, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study (GBD) estimated that CKD
accounts for 4.6% of total mortality worldwide, with a 41.5% increase between 1990 and 2017.
Delayed diagnosis and limited patient recognition of the condition contribute significantly to the
burden of morbidity. Early detection can potentially change the disease trajectory. The most common
causes of CKD, such as hypertension and diabetes, can be reversible or treatable, and early diagnosis
is crucial for avoiding renal replacement therapy.

Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are inexpensive, non-invasive, widely available, and rapid diagnostic
tests frequently obtained during routine visits, prior to exercise, during preoperative evaluation, and
for patients at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Deep learning algorithms (DLA) have recently
been applied to medical imaging and clinical data to achieve high precision, and to identify additional
information beyond the interpretation of human experts.

The high prevalence of concomitant cardiovascular disease and the well-established changes that
accompany electrolyte abnormalities suggest that the ECG is also altered in the setting of CKD and
that discrete electrocardiographic signatures could be identifiable with deep learning techniques.
Patients with CKD have a disproportionate accumulation of cardiovascular risk factors, such as
diabetes and hypertension, as well as subclinical cardiovascular changes such as left ventricular
hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and diastolic dysfunction.

Learning Insights/ Reflections:


The use of deep learning to identify CKD based on ECG data is an intriguing application of an established
technology that will require further validation studies that take into account integrating various data types.
These studies ought to be carried out on patients who are at high risk as well as in population-based cohorts,
as well as on patients of various sexes or genders, ethnicities, and geographic locations. In order to
encourage the subsequent use of traditional screening tools, new techniques like the one described in
Communications Medicine may be a welcome aid as CKD is still underdiagnosed, even in high-risk
populations like patients with hypertension. Wearable sensors would be used to apply these tools to the
general population, but even with successful validation, this would introduce more moral, societal, and
regulatory challenges.
