US EditionAI could predict heart attack risk up to 10 years in the future, finds Oxford study
- Artificial intelligence has the potential to predict a person's risk of having a heart attack up to 10 years in advance, leading to improved treatment for patients, according to a study by the University of Oxford. The study found that some patients who were sent home from the hospital after experiencing chest pain had a high risk of a heart attack in the next decade, even with no signs of disease in their arteries.
- The AI tool developed in the study accurately predicted the risk of a heart attack in a group of 3,393 patients over an eight-year period. When AI-generated risk scores were presented to healthcare professionals, 45% of patients had their treatment plans altered as a result, indicating the potential for thousands of lives to be saved with widespread implementation.
- The implementation of AI technology across the NHS has the potential to prevent thousands of avoidable deaths from heart attacks annually in the UK, according to Professor Antoniades, one of the lead researchers of the study conducted at the University of Oxford.

AI tool could predict if people are at risk of a heart attack years in advance
An artificial intelligence tool could be used to detect heart attacks years in advance and save thousands of lives. A study of the technology out of the University of Oxford on 40,000 patients found it could spot heart problems that doctors miss on CT scans. The tool could help predict if someone is at risk of cardiac arrest up to ten years before it happens. The study was funded by the British Heart Foundation and focused on how AI could improv…
Artificial Intelligence Identifies Potential Heart Attack Victims Up to a Decade Early, Study finds
In a remarkable advancement led by Oxford University, artificial intelligence (AI) is set to revolutionize cardiac healthcare. Researchers have analyzed over 40,000 patient records, revealing the vast potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in identifying individuals at a significantly high risk of heart attacks. The study suggests that AI could predict these risks up to a decade in advance, possibly saving countless lives. Traditionally, car…
