초록

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Chronological age (CA) is commonly used in clinical decision-making, yet it may not accurately reflect biological aging. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) allow estimation of electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived heart age, which may serve as a non-invasive biomarker for physiological aging. This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning model to predict ECG-heart age in individuals with no structural heart disease. <b>Methods</b>: We trained a convolutional neural network (DenseNet-121) using 12-lead ECGs from 292,484 individuals (mean age: 51.4 ± 13.8 years; 42.3% male) without significant cardiac disease. Exclusion criteria included missing age data, age <18 or >90 years, and structural abnormalities. CA was used as the target variable. Model performance was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>), Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE). External validation was conducted using 1191 independent ECGs. <b>Results</b>: The model demonstrated strong predictive performance (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.783, PCC = 0.885, MAE = 5.023 years, RMSE = 6.389 years). ECG-heart age tended to be overestimated in younger adults (≤30 years) and underestimated in older adults (≥70 years). External validation showed consistent performance (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.703, PCC = 0.846, MAE = 5.582 years, RMSE = 7.316 years). <b>Conclusions</b>: The proposed AI-based model accurately estimates ECG-heart age in individuals with structurally normal hearts. ECG-derived heart age may serve as a reliable biomarker of biological aging and support future risk stratification strategies.
