Not something I would have expected a machine to tell me after a procedure completely unrelated to my heart.

In fact complicated algorithms with so many streams of data that are probably not directly shared by specialists until it is needed may uncover new things even before traditional Doctors spot it
It seems easier to scale compute power than to scale doctors considering how long doctors take to train.
Of course, being able to get a machine to a doctor's level is not easy!
what I'm excited for with AI + medicine is how many poor people will be able to get _some_ level of healthcare where they were previously getting none. These programs aren't free, but once they exist they are cheap to run. so people in 3rd world countries can get their films read, or have an AI dematology program look at their skin.
cynically though, I worry that once these AI programs get perfected they will only exist behind the worlds toughest paywall and insurance will just charge you the same fee to see a real doctor. they'll not let it run films on poor african villagers because they have to "protect their IP" or some bs.
I'm assuming the 'data' for your condition was apparently in the EKG, thus there is no reason in the world an ML shouldnt have picked that up. Where as with humans, maybe you got a tired, new, or bad anesthesiologist.
if you said they made the determination by something other than the EKG, I would be more convinced the 'machine' would have missed it
