Oxford scientists have developed a simple AI tool that can predict the risk of heart failure five years before it develops. More than 60 million people worldwide suffer from the condition, in which the heart cannot pump blood around the body as well as it should. Experts say detecting cases before they develop into heart failure would be a major step forward. Doctors could be better prepared and manage the condition at an earlier stage or even p…
New AI tool can spot heart disease five years before it develops
An exciting new AI took could help save lives by detecting fat around the heart which is invisible to the human eye. It can help doctors step in and stop heart failure five years before it develops.
The artificial intelligence applied to a routine cardiac CT allows us to anticipate the risk of heart failure years before its clinical appearance. This is demonstrated by an international study published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology, which has analyzed more than 72,000 patients using advanced imaging techniques. The work focuses on epicardial fat, the adipose tissue that directly surrounds the heart. According to the authors…
