TL;DR
An artificial neural network trained to identify myocardial infarction in adult patients presenting to an emergency department may be a valuable aid to the clinical diagnosis of myocardia infarctions; however, this possibility must be confirmed through prospective testing on a larger patient sample.

811 Citations1976Clement J. McDonald
It appears that the prospective reminders do reduce errors, and that many of these errors are probably due to man's limitations as a data processor rather than to correctable human deficiencies.

665 Citations1988Stephen I. Gallant
Connectionist networks can be used as expert system knowledge bases and can be constructed from training examples by machine learning techniques, giving a way to automate the generation of expert systems for classification problems.
New England Journal of MedicineA Computer Protocol to Predict Myocardial Infarction in Emergency Department Patients with Chest Pain
661 Citations1988Lee Goldman, E. Francis Cook +17 more
Although this protocol should not be used to override careful clinical judgment in individual cases, the computer protocol for the most part yields accurate estimates of the probability of myocardial infarction.

606 Citations1984Michael W. Pozen, Ralph B. D’Agostino +3 more
A predictive instrument for use in a hand-held programmable calculator, which requires only 20 seconds to compute a patient's probability of having acute cardiac ischemia, could reduce the number of CCU admissions in this country by more than 250,000 per year.
Neural ComputationUse of an Artificial Neural Network for Data Analysis in Clinical Decision-Making: The Diagnosis of Acute Coronary Occlusion
295 Citations1990William G. Baxt

263 Citations1989Robert A. Rusnak, Thomas O. Stair +2 more
Adverse outcome data from two insurance companies were retrospectively studied to determine whether a constellation of clinical circumstances, data-gathering behaviors, or physician variables were common to cases of missed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and, if so, to formulate quality assurance recommendations to decrease future occurrences of misdiagnosis.
IEEE International Conference on Neural NetworksMedical diagnostic expert system based on PDP model
213 Citations1988Saito, Nakano
The applicability of PDP (parallel distributed processing) models to knowledge processing is clarified and a method to extract rules from the network and usage of the rules in a confirmation process are proposed.

Electroencephalography pattern-recognition studies carried out using EEG topography generated the moment before voluntary movements of muscles show that RPs generated prior to syllable pronouncement contain some information about those syllables, and that neural networks can be used to recognize EEG information and so create a new type of man-machine interface for data input.
