Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled clinician alerts can significantly improve care for heart patients, according to new data presented at ACC.26 and simultaneously published in JACC.
With the ALERT trial, Batchelor et al. aimed to learn if AI could help patients receive more consistent care by alerting the care team when a valve intervention may be necessary.
This study was specifically focused on identifying signs of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, two life-threatening conditions that can be treated with minimally invasive procedures if detected in time.
Overall, after 30 days, patients treated with AI alerts were 27% more likely to have their case evaluated by a multidisciplinary care team and they experienced a 40% increase in their odds of receiving TAVR or another valve intervention.
“These findings highlight the value of real-time clinical alerts to accelerate diagnosis and specialist referral, helping ensure that more patients—regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, hemodynamics, or other factors—have access to guideline-directed, life-saving care,” Batchelor said in a statement.
