New AI Scan From Oxford Promises Early Detection And Improved Heart Attack Prevention [Video]

A team of scientists at Oxford University has developed a revolutionary AI heart attack scan capable of predicting if someone will suffer a heart attack within the next decade. Reports indicate that this cutting-edge technology could soon be implemented across the United Kingdom.

AI developers are hopeful their new scan could become a life-saving tool, with a decision from NICE and NHS expected by year’s end.Annually, over 300,000 people experience severe chest pains and undergo CT scans to identify potential heart abnormalities. However, less than 20% of these scans reveal obstructions, leaving the remaining 80% of patients often misdiagnosed and reassured inappropriately, according to a doctor interviewed by The Guardian.

This new AI heart attack scan aims to provide deeper insights, offering more definitive diagnoses by detecting damage caused by artery inflammation, which traditional CT scans may miss. If the AI reliably identifies this “hidden” information, it could significantly improve patient outcomes …
