Knowledge-Guided Cross-Modal Fusion for Adult-to-Pediatric ECG Transfer via Label-Conditioned Contrastive Alignment

Adult and pediatric electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation relies on age-sensitive criteria, and models pretrained mainly on adult ECGs often transfer poorly to pediatric populations when pediatric labels are scarce. Existing multimodal ECG--text methods typically align waveforms and text at the global sample level, entangling evidence from co-occurring diagnoses and limiting transfer under this gap. We propose Pediatric-Adult ECG Alignment via Cross-modal Enhancement (PEACE), a…
