World's first AI can predict when patients will have a heart attack or stroke better than a DOCTOR

Artificial intelligence has accurately predicted the possibility of heart attack or stroke in a world's first. A study led by Barts Health NHS Trust and University College London used AI to analyse cardiac scans of more than 1,000 patients. Researchers said it's the first time blood flow scans, which reveal problems with the heart, have been read by a computer. The technology was more accurate at predicting major cardiovascular events within a 19-month follow-up than a doctor using traditional means. Researchers said it could be used by medical teams to recommend treatments.
