Furthermore, while the study also looks to highlight how women differ in their mortality rates compared to men, it also suggests that women are under treated in current risk models as highlighted by Dr Wenzl.
Alongside this, the study believes that AI-based risk profiling can improve individual as well as general patient care. Wenzl said: “Our study heralds the era of artificial intelligence in the treatment of heart attacks.”
Meanwhile, Luscher added: “I hope the implementation of this novel score in treatment algorithms will refine current treatment strategies, reduce sex inequalities, and eventually improve the survival of patients with heart attacks — both male and female.”
AI, then, could herald a new era of cardiovascular treatment, particularly with regard to heart attacks, but it isn’t the only area of health where AI is being used.
