In a groundbreaking development, researchers have unveiled an innovative artificial intelligence tool designed to predict heart disease risk in women using mammograms and age, bypassing the need for an extensive medical history.
Published in the journal 'Heart', the study leveraged routine mammograms from over 49,000 women in Victoria, Australia. Clare Arnott, associate professor and global director of the Cardiovascular Program at The George Institute, stressed the importance of new methodologies in identifying cardiovascular risk to enhance screening processes.
According to Arnott, combining cardiovascular risk screening with mammograms could simultaneously address two leading causes of death. The AI model is pioneering in its use of mammographic features and age, offering a practical, resource-efficient, and accurate approach to heart disease risk prediction.
