心脏病专家通过定位波形特征、测量节律与间期模式,并将这些结构化观察转化为诊断证据来解读心电图。这一专家读图流程能否作为心电图智能体的有效先验尚不明确。为此,我们提出LuminaECG——一种临床结构化的心电图推理框架,将心电图解读重构为基于测量的视觉阅读。心电图信号被绘制在标准心电图网格纸上,以保留临床读图中的空间与尺度线索。P波、QRS波群和T波边界被显式划定,彩色分割将波形分解为离散的视觉测量单元。随后,使用低秩微调训练一个通用20亿参数的视觉-语言主干模型,将其与诊断推理关联,无需修改架构。在开放数据集、专有数据集及心电图专用零样本基线中,LuminaECG均提升了波形测量与诊断恢复能力。其在CODE-test基准上达到临床有意义的读图员层级,可在不同地理区域的心电图数据集间实现无重训迁移,并生成报告结构中蕴含潜在预后信号的诊断报告。这些发现表明,有效的心电图智能体不仅需要更大模型,更需保持可测量波形证据与临床知识之间对齐的监督机制。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Cardiologists interpret electrocardiograms by localizing waveform components, measuring rhythm and interval patterns, and translating these structured observations into diagnostic evidence. Whether this expert reading process can serve as an effective prior for ECG agents remains unclear. To address this question, we introduce LuminaECG, a clinically structured ECG reasoning framework that reformulates ECG interpretation as measurement-grounded visual reading. ECG signals are rendered on standard electrocardiographic grid paper to preserve the spatial and scale cues used in clinical reading. P-wave, QRS-complex, and T-wave boundaries are explicitly delineated, and color-coded segmentation decomposes the waveform into discrete visual measurement primitives. A general 2B vision-language backbone is then trained with low-rank supervised fine-tuning to associate these primitives with diagnostic reasoning, without architectural modification. Across open, proprietary, and ECG-specialist zero-shot baselines, LuminaECG improves both waveform measurement and diagnostic recovery. It reaches a clinically meaningful reader tier on the CODE-test benchmark, transfers across geographically diverse ECG datasets without retraining, and generates reports whose structure contains an emergent prognostic signal. These findings suggest that effective ECG agents require not only larger models, but supervision that preserves the alignment between measurable waveform evidence and clinical knowledge.
