Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Innovation in Interventional Cardiovascular Care

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) serves as a powerful tool that can revolutionize how personalized, patient-focused care is provided within interventional cardiology. Specifically, AI can augment clinical care across the spectrum for acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery disease, and valvular heart disease, with applications in coronary and structural heart interventions. This has been enabled by the potential of AI to harness various types of health data. We review how AI-driven technologies can advance diagnosis, preprocedural planning, intraprocedural guidance, and prognostication in interventional cardiology. AI automates clinical tasks, increases efficiency, improves reliability and accuracy, and individualizes clinical care, establishing its potential to transform care. Furthermore, AI-enabled, community-based screening programs are yet to be implemented to leverage the full potential of AI to improve patient outcomes. However, to transform clinical practice, AI tools require robust and transparent development processes, consistent performance across various settings and populations, positive impact on clinical and care quality outcomes, and seamless integration into clinical workflows. Once these are established, AI can reshape interventional cardiology, improving precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
