Abstract
Purpose of review: This opinion paper highlights the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology for cardiovascular disease (CVD), presents best practices and transformative impacts, and addresses current concerns that must be resolved for broader adoption.
Recent findings: With the evolution of digitization in data collection, large amounts of data have become available, surpassing the human capacity for processing and analysis, thus enabling the application of AI. These models can learn complex spatial and temporal patterns from large amounts of data, providing patient-specific outputs. These advantages have resulted, at the moment, in more than 900 AI-based devices being approved, today, by regulatory entities, for clinical use, with similar to improved performance and efficiency compared to traditional technologies. However, issues such as model generalization, bias, transparency, interpretability, accountability, and data privacy remain significant barriers for broad adoption of these technologies. AI shows great promise in enhancing CVD care through more accurate and efficient approaches. Yet, widespread adoption is hindered by unresolved concerns of interested stakeholders. Addressing these challenges is crucial for fully integrating AI into clinical practice and shaping the future of CVD prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature.
We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
