AI discovers a hidden heart signal that could predict sudden death
The Brief
- Scientists report a previously hidden warning sign in routine heart scans that may predict sudden cardiac death before it happens.
- The AI-powered approach outperformed conventional screening methods, according to the source.
- The source says the approach could potentially identify thousands of people at risk of a fatal heart malfunction.
Why it matters
If the signal is validated, it could help clinicians identify people at risk of sudden cardiac death using scans that are already routinely taken. The source does not describe any clinical use yet.
