Artificial intelligence may be a useful tool for providers to better predict patient outcomes. It was beneficial for Amod Amritphale, M.D., the director of cardiovascular research and an interventional cardiologist at USA Health, who used computer algorithms to learn more about patients who suffered a stroke. Public data showed that some of those patients were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days, even after undergoing a surgical procedure to open a narrowed carotid artery. Carotid arteries are blood vessels located on both sides of the neck that deliver blood to the head and brain. The procedure, known as carotid artery stenting (CAS), is usually performed as a preventative method or after a stroke.

There is a common myth that heart disease is more of a problem for men than women, however women and men die at equal rates from heart disease. Studies have shown that men's heart health is more researched and prioritized over women's heart health which creates an issue in diagnostics. Misdiagnosis or under diagnosis plague women with hidden heart issues and they won't always get the treatment they need. Because of this irritating and unethical issue, cardiologist and researcher, Dr. Amod Amritphale is working to change this outcome of heart health in women. Symptoms of heart disease in women are very different than men, but the warning signs for men are published more in the media and are known to be more obvious than for women.
