Diagnostic accuracy of ChatGPT for 12-lead ECG-based localisation of ventricular ectopic foci prior to catheter ablation

Freetext querying of ChatGPT failed to provide clinically meaningful VE localisation, performing no better than chance and markedly below published ECG-based algorithms. This likely reflects the model's lack of domain-specific training and its reliance on purely text-based reasoning without direct access to ECG signals. Current general-purpose language models should not be relied upon for procedural planning in VE ablation; future work must integrate multimodal training and domain-specific optimisation before LLMs can augment electrophysiology practice.

Abstract

Freetext querying of ChatGPT failed to provide clinically meaningful VE localisation, performing no better than chance and markedly below published ECG-based algorithms. This likely reflects the model's lack of domain-specific training and its reliance on purely text-based reasoning without direct access to ECG signals. Current general-purpose language models should not be relied upon for procedural planning in VE ablation; future work must integrate multimodal training and domain-specific optimisation before LLMs can augment electrophysiology practice.
