Oxford researchers develop AI tool to detect hidden organ damage from high blood pressure
Summary
Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed an AI-derived tool called 'HyperScore' that estimates organ damage caused by high blood pressure before major cardiovascular events occur. The study, funded by the Medical Research Council and published in Circulation, identified six distinct patterns (HyperTrajectories) of hypertension-related disease. This advancement could enable more personalized treatments for patients with high blood pressure by revealing hidden organ damage that traditional methods might miss.
