Introduction: Heart disorders often remain undetected until symptoms occur, leading to delayed treatment and increased risks. Yale School of Medicine's Dr. Rohan Khera has developed a groundbreaking method using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect serious structural heart problems before symptoms appear.
The Invisible Problem: Left ventricular systolic dysfunction is a disorder that reduces the heart's ability to pump blood. It develops silently but can lead to an eightfold increase in heart failure and double the risk of premature death. Traditional diagnosis methods like ultrasound or MRI are not feasible for community-wide screening.
AI's Role in Early Detection: Dr. Khera's research focuses on using AI to analyze electrocardiograms (ECGs), a common and inexpensive test. AI can detect what a basic reading of an ECG cannot, identifying signatures of structural heart disorders with 90 to 95% accuracy. This approach has been validated across various states and even in a Brazilian longitudinal study.
The Future of Heart Screening: With AI's ability to pick up structural abnormalities in the heart by examining ECG photos, screening for heart disorders is likely to become more common. This technology offers a treatable diagnosis without any significant expense or challenge, revolutionizing heart health care.
