New AI tool detects heart inflammation missed by standard blood tests
A US study found coronary inflammation in 42.9% of asymptomatic, low-risk individuals, a condition missed by standard blood tests.
- Field
- medicine and diagnostics
- What they did
- Researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze heart CT scans in asymptomatic adults with no known heart disease, finding coronary inflammation in 42.9% of participants.
- Why it matters
- This is important because standard blood tests and traditional cardiovascular risk factors cannot detect this inflammation, which is an early sign of heart problems.
