A.I. technology could identify those at risk of fatal heart attacks, research claims

More people die annually from cardiovascular diseases than any other cause, according to the World Health Organization.At

Oxford, machine learning has been used to create a fingerprint called a “fat radiomic profile” which can identify red flags for patients. 

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed artificial intelligence (AI) technology that could identify whether someone is at high risk of a fatal heart attack years before it occurs.

Machine learning has been used to create a fingerprint called a “fat radiomic profile.” It’s able to identify “red flags” such as inflammation, scarring and changes in blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. Factors such as these point to future heart attacks.
