Vijay Shah: Increasing Value of AI-Based Assessment in Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
Vijay Shah, Kinney Executive Dean of Research Carol Gatton, Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Including AI-derived heart fat measurement improves accuracy of cardiovascular disease risk prediction.
Francisco Lopez-Jimenez and Zahra Esmaeili applied AI to coronary artery calcium scans to measure fat surrounding the heart in data gathered from nearly 12,000 adults for approximately 16 years.
The findings show that the volume of heart fat could be used independently to predict cardiovascular events.
It significantly improved the overall accuracy of long-term risk prediction when combined with the coronary artery calcium score and the PREVENT equation, especially among patients in low-risk categories.”
