AI Breakthrough: New Algorithm Predicts Heart Attacks with 92% Accuracy

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have unveiled a groundbreaking AI system that can predict heart attacks up to five years before they occur. The algorithm, trained on over 500,000 patient records, analyzes subtle patterns in blood tests, ECG data, and lifestyle information that are often missed by traditional diagnostic tools.
The AI tool has demonstrated a 92% accuracy rate in identifying individuals at high risk of myocardial infarction. Experts say this could revolutionize preventive cardiology and significantly reduce global cardiovascular mortality rates.
Dr. Sarah Thompson, lead researcher, emphasized that the system is designed to assist, not replace, physicians. “Our goal is to provide doctors with early warnings so they can intervene with personalized prevention plans.”
The team plans to begin clinical trials in the UK later this year
