Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology to Prevent Sudden Cardiac Death

The causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) have not yet been completely studied. At the same time, their share of mortality from heart disease is constantly growing. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for timely diagnosis of the risk of sudden cardiac death, in particular for ECG analysis, is showing impressive and promising results. Of course, simple ECG analysis is not enough for an accurate prediction. Therefore, AI can be a powerful tool for testing hypotheses about additional medical factors that can improve diagnostic accuracy. In practice, the primary issue is the absence of established standards for AI use, coupled with the technical challenge of promptly transmitting ECG readings to the diagnostic center and receiving a real-time diagnosis from the AI system.
