Artificial intelligence is capable of predicting cardiac arrhythmias

Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence model that has the ability to predict the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias. Currently being tested by healthcare professionals in Paris hospitals, this innovation is also a sign that the field of medicine is open to such initiatives and no longer afraid to work hand in hand with new tools of this kind. Predicting the risk of cardiac arrhythmias through the use of artificial intelligence could soon be part of standard medical care. While the concept may still cause many to raise their eyebrows and express scepticism, largely because of how artificial intelligence is portrayed in the media, the field of medicine is exploring how it can benefit from some of the advantages of deep learning. In their article, published in the European Heart Journal, the scientists explain how their work could be valuable in predicting the risk of occurrence of Torsades de Pointes, a potentially fatal heart disorder.
