Breakthrough Technology Predicts Heart Attacks 10 Years in Advance

AI-Powered Tool Could Revolutionize Cardiovascular Care

Groundbreaking research from Caristo Diagnostics and Oxford University has yielded a revolutionary AI technology capable of identifying individuals at high risk of heart attacks up to a decade in advance.

This cutting-edge tool, dubbed CaRi-Heart, has the potential to transform the landscape of cardiovascular care by enabling targeted interventions and risk-reduction strategies to prevent heart attacks before they occur.

The AI program was trained on a vast dataset of imaging scans, allowing it to discern subtle changes in the fat surrounding inflamed arteries—an indicator of increased risk. Unlike routine scans, CaRi-Heart can detect these minor abnormalities, providing valuable insights into an individual's future health trajectory.

Lead researcher Professor Sir Peter Kellner-Hoster of Oxford University has described CaRi-Heart as "a game-changer" in the field of heart attack prevention. By identifying high-risk individuals early, clinicians can implement personalized treatment plans, such as lifestyle modifications, medication, or surgical interventions, to mitigate the likelihood of future cardiac events.
