AI is Revolutionizing Cardiovascular Risk Assessments

In a new study conducted by Cedars-Sinai, researchers have leveraged artificial intelligence to significantly advance how cardiovascular risks are assessed, making the process both less expensive and less invasive.

Published in Nature Communications, the study reveals that routine chest computed tomography (CT) scans, typically performed without contrast, can now accurately evaluate coronary calcium levels and the dimensions of heart chambers and muscles thanks to AI technology.
