AI-enabled opportunistic left ventricular volumetry in coronary artery calcium scans predicts heart failure comparably to cardiac MRI: An AI-CVD study with the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)

Artificial intelligence applied to coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans can provide information beyond what is currently reported. The AI-CVD initiative aims to opportunistically extract all actionable information from CAC scans and lung scans. We have recently shown that AI-CVD opportunistic screening for enlarged cardiac chambers particularly left atrium (LA) and left ventricle, and increased left ventricular (LV) mass in CAC scans predicts future atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF)…
