AI and Machine Learning in Cardiology

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in cardiology are transforming heart disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention by enhancing data analysis, improving accuracy, and personalizing patient care. These technologies analyze vast amounts of medical data, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), imaging scans, and electronic health records, to detect patterns that may be overlooked by human clinicians. AI-powered algorithms have significantly improved early diagnosis of heart conditions. For example, AI can analyze ECGs to detect arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation or predict the risk of sudden cardiac arrest. In cardiac imaging, ML enhances echocardiograms, CT scans, and MRIs, allowing for more precise identification of structural abnormalities and coronary artery disease. AI also plays a role in predictive analytics, helping to assess a patient’s likelihood of developing heart disease based on genetic, life>
