مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا - استخدم باحثو مايو كلينك الذكاء الاصطناعي لتقييم مخططات كهربية القلب للمرضى في إطار استراتيجية استهدافيّة للكشف عن الرجفان الأذيني، وهو إحدى اضطرابات نظم القلب الشائعة. الرجفان الأذيني هو عدم انتظام ضربات القلب، والذي قد يؤدي إلى جلطات دموية قد تنتقل إلى الدماغ وتسبب سكتة دماغية؛ لكن لا يتم يُشخص بشكل صحيح في معظم الأحيان. في الدراسة اللامركزية الميسرة رقميًا، قام الذكاء الاصطناعي بالتعرف على حالات جديدة من الرجفان الأذيني التي لم يكن ليتم الانتباه لها سريريًا خلال الرعاية الروتينية.
os investigadores de Mayo Clinic utilizaron inteligencia artificial para evaluar electrocardiogramas de pacientes en el marco de una estrategia dirigida para detectar fibrilación auricular, un trastorno frecuente del ritmo cardíaco.

After statins, the next leading class of medications for managing cholesterol are PCSK9 inhibitors. These highly effective agents help the body pull excess cholesterol from the blood, but unlike statins, which are available as oral agents, PCSK9 inhibitors can only be administered as shots, creating barriers to their use.

An international study led by McMaster University researchers and published in The Lancet Global Health has found that influenza vaccines greatly reduce both pneumonia and cardiovascular complications in people with heart failure. An international study led by McMaster University researchers and published in The Lancet Global Health has found that influenza vaccines greatly reduce both pneumonia and cardiovascular complications in people with heart failure. Data gathered during flu season also showed the vaccine helped protect against cardiovascular complications, such as heart attacks and strokes.
An analysis of more than 2,400 women who did not have high blood pressure while pregnant found that about 1 in 10 were diagnosed with high blood pressure in the year after childbirth.

A study published in Nature Medicine reports the ability of a smartwatch ECG to accurately detect heart failure in nonclinical environments. Researchers at Mayo Clinic applied artificial intelligence (AI) to Apple Watch ECG recordings to identify patients with a weak heart pump. Participants in the study recorded their smartwatch ECGs remotely whenever they wanted, from wherever they were. Periodically, they uploaded the ECGs to their electronic health records automatically and securely via a smartphone app developed by Mayo Clinic’s Center for Digital Health.
