Healthcare professionals can now forecast the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular diseases with unprecedented accuracy. This breakthrough technology possesses the ability to fundamentally transform the field of cardiology, facilitating early detection, personalized treatment methodologies, and improving patient outcomes. The utilization of predictive analytics based on AI and ML represents a significant advancement that can optimize resource allocation, enhance clinical decision-making, and most importantly, benefit those affected by heart conditions. As the technology continues to grow more sophisticated through ongoing research and development, its full potential to revolutionize cardiovascular medicine and benefit patients worldwide has yet to be fully realized.","PeriodicalId":306111,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery: Global Health","volume":"25 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140419692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Around 30% of Pakistani women suffer from PPD and although multiple treatment options are available, none of these are feasible for Pakistan, a lower-middle-income country with a subpar healthcare system. In August 2023, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Zurzuvae (zuranolone), the first oral medication for the treatment of PPD. As a low-cost, self-administered oral drug, independent of the need for a healthcare professional, Zuranolone emerges as an efficacious and long-term approach to address PPD in Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":306111,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery: Global Health","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140424702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
