A new AI model more accurately predicts sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients by analyzing cardiac MRI scans for scar patterns.
Key Details
- 1The AI model detects previously unrecognized scarring (fibrosis) on cardiac MRI scans.
- 2Focuses on patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a major cause of sudden cardiac death in the young.
- 3The tool combines clinical data with MRI imaging for improved risk stratification.
- 4Developed by researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
- 5Claims to outperform human providers in prediction accuracy for sudden cardiac death risks.
