A new cardiac arrest-detecting AI has been revealed. If this health technology is proven effective, it can reduce death cases caused by sudden heart dysfunction.
SHANGHAI, CHINA - JUNE 18: Cutting edge applications of Artificial Intelligence are seen on display at the Artificial Intelligence Pavilion of Zhangjiang Future Park during a state organized media tour on June 18, 2021 in Shanghai, China.
Natalia Trayanova, the senior author of the latest study, explained that more than 20% of the deaths across the world are caused by cardiac arrest (cardiac arrhythmias).
Because of this, they decided to create a new artificial intelligence that can detect if an individual is about to have heart failure.
Now, will this new cardia arrest-detecting AI help reduce cardiac arrest deaths?
Cardiac Arrest-Detecting AI Now Under Development
According to MedicalXPress's latest report, the new cardiac arrest-detecting AI was revealed in the new study titled "Arrhythmic sudden death survival prediction using deep learning analysis of scarring in the heart," published in the Nature Cardiac Research journal.

The health research was led by some talented researchers from Johns Hopkins University. They explained that the new artificial intelligence is built on raw images of patients' diseased hearts.
Involved health experts added that the new AI could increase the survival rate of patients suffering from cardiac arrest.
"The images carry critical information that doctors haven't been able to access," explained Dan Popescu, the first author of the new AI study.
He added that the information distribution method of the new AI could identify the patient's chance for survival.
How the New AI Reduces Cardiac Arrest Deaths
As of the moment, cardiac arrests are hard to detect. Because of this, Trayanova explained that some arrhythmia patients with a low risk of cardiac death are getting defibrillators.
Meanwhile, those at high risk of getting sudden cardiac attacks are deprived of having the health equipment they need, such as a defibrillator.
Now, with the health of the new artificial intelligence model, health experts can identify the patients that they need to prioritize, thus reducing the number of death cases.
