AI will tell you if there is any problem in your heart, health expert's opinion

Cases of heart disease are increasing rapidly. The number of deaths due to this is also increasing continuously. The reason for this is delay in diagnosis and treatment. In such a situation, the involvement of artificial intelligence in heart treatment can prove to be very beneficial. 

Balbir Singh, chairman of the cardiology department at Max Healthcare, said that AI is capable of predicting heart disorders, which was not possible with traditional methods. At the recently held Cardiology SUMMA 2024 event, Singh said that the use of AI will help doctors make better decisions.

The rising number of heart diseases

The number of heart patients in India is constantly increasing, increasing the pressure on health services. This has emerged as a challenge especially in rural areas, where access to health care is limited.

The role of AI

The possibilities of AI in diagnosing heart disease are vast. Paul A. Friedman, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, said that AI can help read tests such as ECGs faster and identify the disease. Apart from this, it is also able to identify which patient needs more advanced care.

Importance of latest technology

Gurpreet Sandhu, vice president of cardiology at Mayo Clinic, praised the development of healthcare in India. He said that in the last few years, especially after the pandemic, the healthcare sector has expanded significantly. New hospitals and technologies are being built rapidly.

Benefits for rural areas

Experts believe that AI can provide better access to health services in rural areas. This technology can become an important tool for India's large rural population, which will provide high quality medical services.
