Cutting-Edge AI Predicts Heart Attack Risk Years in Advance
A study conducted by the University of Oxford has found that artificial intelligence (AI) can predict a person's risk of having a heart attack up to 10 years in advance. By improving the accuracy of cardiac CT scans, AI technology could potentially save lives and enhance treatment for nearly half of all patients. The study, funded by the British Heart Foundation, analyzed data from over 40,000 patients and found that AI-generated risk scores accurately predicted the likelihood of a heart attack. The implementation of this AI tool across the NHS could help prevent thousands of avoidable deaths from heart attacks each year in the UK.
