The contribution of scientific developments to the field of medicine is indisputable. Advances in artificial intelligence, in particular, continue to provide doctors with great advantages in both diagnosis and treatment. The latest study in England will break new ground in its field.
Researchers have developed a fully automated, AI-enabled tool to evaluate the potential of retinal vasculature imaging and known risk factors to predict vascular health and date of death. They developed Quartz.
They used the tool to scan images of 88,000 UK Biobank participants aged 40 to 69 from the UK.
PREDICTION OF STROKE, HEART ATTACK AND DEATH!
To develop predictive models for stroke, heart attack, and death, the researchers looked specifically at the width, vessel area, and degree of curvature of arteries and veins in the retina and focused on diseases of the circulatory system.

They then applied the models to retinal images of 7,411 participants aged 48 to 92 in the cancer research (Epic)-Norfolk study conducted in Europe. Quartz’s performance was compared with the widely used Framingham risk scores framework.
FOLLOW EVERYONE BETWEEN 7-9 YEARS
The health of everyone in the study was followed for an average of seven to nine years. The width, curvature, and width variation of veins and arteries in the retinas of men were found to be important predictors of death from circulatory disease.
In women, the variation of this artery area and width and vessel curvature and width contributed to the estimation of mortality risk.
The AI tool also used other data from participants, including smoking status, medications to treat high blood pressure, and previous heart attacks.
The researchers found that the retinal data calculated by Quartz was significantly associated with predictive performance similar to the Framingham clinical risk score, with cardiovascular disease, deaths, and strokes.

WE WILL NOTIFY IF YOUR HEART IS SICK
In other words, these eye checks made by artificial intelligence can predict the risk of heart disease in less than a minute. This means that this eye-scanning AI tool can accurately predict a person’s risk of heart disease, as well as the likelihood of premature death, in less than a minute.
This incredible breakthrough could allow ophthalmologists and other healthcare professionals to perform cardiovascular screening using a single camera, without the need for blood tests or blood pressure checks.
“Artificial intelligence-assisted imaging of retinal veins and arteries can determine the risk of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular death and stroke,” the report states. it was said.
THE RESULTS OF THE WORK CREATED GREAT JOY

There was great rejoicing at the possibility that the results could open the door to a highly effective but uncommon test that would not need to be performed in a clinic, but that would become available to people at moderate to high risk of heart disease.
The findings of the study were published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
The lead author of the study, Prof. “This AI tool can let someone know their risk level in 60 seconds or less,” Alicja Rudnicka told The Guardian. If we learn that these risks are higher than expected, we can prescribe appropriate medications or take other action for patients.”
IT WILL SAVE LIVES!
Rudnicka, professor of statistical epidemiology at St George’s, University of London, told a health conference in Copenhagen that the study could improve cardiovascular health and save lives.

cardiovascular diseasesCirculatory diseases, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke, are the leading causes of health problems and death worldwide.
In fact, cardiovascular disease alone is the most common cause of death worldwide. These diseases cause one in four deaths in the UK alone.
