From diagnostics to therapeutics, artificial intelligence is set to change the way cardiovascular diseases are identified and treated

A ​​diagnosis of coronary artery disease usually comes after a series of procedures, including blood tests, exercise to reproduce symptoms, an electrocardiogram, a chest X-ray and, finally, cardiac catheterization, where a thin tube is inserted through the heart's blood vessels to check blood flow and function in various parts of the organ.

It can take weeks, even months, for each patient to go through these gold-standard procedures.​
