Domain-Adapted Fine-Tuning of ECG Foundation Models for Multi-Label Structural Heart Disease Screening

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.23385v1 Announce Type: new Transthoracic echocardiography is the reference standard for confirming structural heart disease (SHD), but first-line screening is limited by cost, workflow burden, and specialist availability. We evaluated whether open pretrained electrocardiogram (ECG) foundation models can echo-confirmed multi-label SHD detection using the public EchoNext Mini-Model benchmark.
