AI Detection of Cardiac Amyloidosis

Guest: Patricia Pellikka, M.D.
Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D.

Dr. Patricia Pellikka dives into the AI mannequin she helped construct. Working with an AI echo firm, Ultromics Ltd., her crew constructed an AI echo mannequin to detect cardiac amyloidosis. The mannequin works from an apical 4 chamber videoclip and was permitted by the FDA through the breakthrough pathway. They have validated it internationally in a inhabitants with 22% prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis and it had a sensitivity of 85%, specificity 93%, PPV 78%, NPV 96%, and AUC 0.93. The efficiency of the mannequin was constant throughout cardiac amyloid sorts; amongst AL, wild sort ATTR, and hereditary ATTR, the sensitivity was 84%, 85%, and 86%, respectively. The efficiency of the mannequin was additionally superior to beforehand validated scores which use medical and echocardiographic variables for detecting cardiac amyloidosis. The outcomes of the research had been printed on-line within the European Heart Journal in July.
