AI tool shows promise in diagnosing advanced heart failure

"Applying artificial intelligence techniques to cardiac ultrasound data may make it easier to identify patients with advanced heart failure, a new study has found. The study offers the prospect of better care for many thousands of patients who may be overlooked due to the difficulty of diagnosing their condition. Advanced heart failure is currently detected through cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), which requires specialized equipment and trained staff and is typically only available at large medical centers.
