Arrhythmic Sudden Death Survival Prediction Using Deep Learning Analysis of Scarring in the Heart

Arrhythmic sudden death survival prediction using deep learning analysis of scarring in the heart

Sudden cardiac death from arrhythmia is a major cause of mortality worldwide. In this study, we developed a novel deep learning (DL) approach that blends neural networks and survival analysis to predict patient-specific survival curves from contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance images and clinical covariates for patients with ischemic heart disease. The DL-predicted survival curves offer accurate predictions at times up to 10 years and al…

AI algorithm identifies patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest

An AI algorithm used with MRI data can predict which patients are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, researchers have reported.
