AI Tool Detects Atrial Fibrillation Before Symptoms, Reducing Risk of Fatal Strokes in UK Trial

Dec 28, 2024, 10:42 AM

A new artificial intelligence tool is being trialed in the UK to detect heart conditions, specifically atrial fibrillation, before symptoms arise. The AI algorithm analyzes medical records to identify red flags that indicate a risk of developing this condition, which can lead to fatal strokes. If the initial local trial proves successful, plans are in place to implement the AI tool nationwide, potentially improving early detection and treatment outcomes for patients at risk.
