AI-enabled Imaging of Retina Can Specify Heart Disease Risk
2022 20 Oct
A recent study demonstrated that AI-enabled imaging of the retina’s network of veins and arteries can accurately predict the risk of cardiovascular disease and death, without measuring blood pressure or needing blood tests. The findings are published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. The findings highlight the potential for a highly... Read more
#ESCCongress: AI Algorithm for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease
2022 29 Aug
Late-breaking research presented at the ESC Congress shows that an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm accurately estimates the risk of heart disease caused by cumulative exposure to cholesterol and blood pressure levels and the benefits of lowering both, thus providing the information needed to make individual treatment decisions. Atherosclerotic... Read more
#ESCCongress: Mortality Benefits With High-Dose Influenza Vaccines
2022 27 Aug
Findings from the DANFLU-1 trial presented at the ESC Congress in Barcelona show that high-dose influenza vaccination in older adults reduces the risk of death by 49% and the incidence of hospitalisation for influenza or pneumonia by 64% compared with standard-dose vaccination. Several studies have previously investigated the association between... Read more
