  1. Coronary artery calcium density improves cardiovascular risk prediction in humans (ΔC-statistic 0.060 [95%CI 0.032, 0.093]).

    “Adding these 5 density parameters to traditional risk factors improved CVD risk prediction (ΔC-statistic 0.060 [95%CI 0.032, 0.093]) more than when we added Agatston score”

Sleep study heart records link to ten-year cardiovascular risk

Across two validation cohorts of over 22,000 patients, an AI score from overnight heart traces yielded hazard ratios of 2.03 and 2.72 for atrial fibrillation.Across two validation cohorts of over 22,000 patients, an AI score from overnight heart traces yielded hazard ratios of 2.03 and 2.72 for atrial fibrillation.
