PHILADELPHIA — An artificial intelligence-based technology that evaluates coronary inflammation predicted risk for cardiac events in patients undergoing coronary CTA, according to new study data.
In the ORFAN study presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, risk based on coronary inflammation was a strong predictor of cardiac events even in patients with no obstructive CAD showing no plaque or zero calcium score. Read the full article in Healio.

A chatbot may have written this sentence, or maybe it was written by an actual writer. Or maybe it was written by a doctor. It is becoming increasingly difficult to tell these days.
[Editor’s note: It was indeed written, and edited, by actual people.] Read more in Healio.
A research version of the artificial intelligence language model ChatGPT appropriately responded to a majority of suggested CVD prevention questions, including complex topics like cholesterol management despite statin therapy.
“There has been a lot of media attention about ChatGPT and people are looking at its ability to answer complex questions across many fields,” Ashish Sarraju, MD, a preventive cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic, told Healio. Read more in Healio.
A Missouri University of Science and Technology researcher is looking for ways artificial intelligence can improve how kidney donors are matched with recipients.
Missouri S&T engineering management assistant professor Casey Canfield is leading a research effort to develop AI software that can streamline the matching process. Read more from St. Louis Public Radio.
Developed by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a new artificial intelligence system can help enhance heart transplant procedures by reducing the risk of immune system rejections.
To help improve heart transplants, investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital created an artificial intelligence (AI) system known as the Cardiac Rejection Assessment Neural Estimator (CRANE), which can help clinicians detect and manage adverse immune system reactions.
Although heart transplants can be lifesaving, there is a risk of the immune system rejecting and attacking the new organ that may go unnoticed by the patient, leading to severe medical problems.
