How AI Can Facilitate Diagnosis and Catheter Ablation of Arrhythmias (non-ACE)-How AI Can Facilitate Diagnosis and Catheter Ablation of Arrhythmias (non-ACE)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session focuses on the integration of AI in cardiac health, specifically in diagnosing and treating arrhythmias via catheter ablation. Dr. Christine Albert from Cedars-Sinai and Dr. Sanjay Gupta from St. Luke's introduce the session, which includes several presentations emphasizing AI's potential in electrophysiology. Dr. Clement Bars discusses the Tailored AF Trial, highlighting AI's role in guiding atrial fibrillation ablation and illustrating AI's capability in identifying high-complexity electrical patterns to improve treatment outcomes. The trial underlines AI's effectiveness in enhancing the accuracy of detecting arrhythmia sources, although challenges like data heterogeneity and procedural timing persist. Dr. Gordon Ho demonstrates AI's potential in improving the procedural outcomes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablations, showing that AI can effectively predict VT origins and critical isthmus points using ECG data, thus enhancing patient outcomes. Dr. Deepak Saluja focuses on quantifying and interpreting electrophysiological data using neural networks to train AI models, aiming to streamline and enhance isthmus identification for better mapping accuracy. Dr. Joseph Barker discusses using AI to predict susceptibility to lethal arrhythmias, emphasizing the need to validate AI's clinical utility in predicting imminent risks. The overall discussion emphasizes how AI can transform cardiac arrhythmia management, highlighting its capabilities in automating complex diagnostic procedures, though noting the ongoing challenges in data collection, training, and regulatory approval.
