Pulmonary embolisms are dangerous, lung-clogging blot clots. In a pilot study, scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai showed for the first time that artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can detect signs of these clots in electrocardiograms (EKGs), a finding which may one day help doctors with screening.

CD31 recognises the vessel lumen, the CD34 labels both the luminal ECs and perivascular PCs, while PDGFRÎČ labels both PCs and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arteriole’s tunica media. (C–F) A subset of PDGFRÎČ+ cardiac PCs express ACE2 (C,D) and CD147 (E,F). α-SMA labels some PCs and arterioles’ VSMCs (C,D)
