Artificial intelligence may help predict-possibly prevent-sudden cardiac death
USA: Artificial intelligence (AI) can predict cardiac death, and address a person's risk to prevent future death, preliminary research has revealed.
The findings, presented at the American Heart Association’s Resuscitation Science Symposium 2023, could offer a new move toward prevention and global health strategies.
The AI analysis identified people who had more than 90% of the risk of dying suddenly, and they represented more than one-fourth of all cases of sudden cardiac death.
"Predicting sudden cardiac death, and perhaps even addressing a person’s risk to prevent future death, may be possible through artificial intelligence (AI) and could offer a new move toward prevention and global health strategies," the study stated.
The research team analyzed medical information with AI from registries and databases in Paris, France and Seattle for 25,000 people who had died from sudden cardiac arrest and 70,000 people from the general population, with data from the two groups matched by age, sex and residential area. The data was gathered from medical records up to ten years prior to each death.
