Rising applications for artificial intelligence in cardiovascular medicine

Artificial intelligence (AI)--the use of algorithms and software to interpret and understand complex data--has proven to be a disruptive force in modern medicine and has impacted everything from biomedical research to clinical practice. The rapid development of AI tech has seen its incorporation into increasingly specific applications and clinical settings. In particular, the field of cardiology has seen AI integrated with a variety of tools and devices in recent years and presents new opportunities for data-driven improvements to patient care. Today's AI applications in cardiology aim to enhance physician decision-making through data analysis. Interpretation of test results such as electrocardiograms or angiograms can be guided by AI algorithms trained to detect abnormalities and reduce diagnosis time.
