Mayo Clinic uses AI to calculate heart age from echocardiograms

Summary

Mayo Clinic researchers are using AI to analyze echocardiograms and calculate a person's "heart age" — a measure of heart health that may differ from chronological age. The AI compares the biological age of the heart to the patient's actual age, and the gap can reveal health risks. Dr. Francisco Lopez-Jimenez notes that when the AI indicates a heart is biologically older than the person, it carries significant health implications. The technology aims to help people take steps to improve heart health and close the age gap.
