Artificial Intelligence can predict heart attack risk up to 10 years, Oxford

Artificial intelligence can be used to predict whether a person is at risk of having a heart attack up to 10 years in the future, a study has revealed, The Guardian reports .

The technology could save thousands of lives while improving treatment for almost half of patients, researchers at the University of Oxford said.

The study, funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), looked at how AI could improve the accuracy of cardiac CT scans, which are used to detect blockages or narrowings in arteries.

Prof Charalambos Antoniades, chair of cardiovascular medicine at the BHF and director of the multidisciplinary acute imaging and interventional center at Oxford, said: "Our study found that some patients presenting to hospital with chest pain who often get insured and go home - are in high risk of having a heart attack in the next decade, even in the absence of any signs of disease in their heart arteries.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 40,000 patients undergoing routine heart CT scans at eight UK hospitals, with an average follow-up time of 2.7 years.

The AI ??tool was tested on another 3,393 patients over almost eight years and was able to accurately predict the risk of a heart attack. The AI-generated risk scores were then presented to doctors for 744 patients, with 45% having their treatment plans changed by doctors as a result./ CNA
