A recent study showed artificial intelligence (AI) may prevent 'unnecessary examination' in patients with stable chest pain, a frequent cause of visits to emergency departments and general practitioners.The study was presented at The International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT (ICNC) 2019.Study author Dr Marco Mazzanti, Royal Brompton Hospital said, "We know that doctors overtest patients and ignore recommendations when a test justified about two-thirds of the time. Our 'super brain' decision support system, called ARTICA does not advise unnecessary examinations."ARTICA, which stands for Artificial Intelligence for clinical Cardiac Navigation, is a decision support system created by the researchers. It uses machine learning, a type of AI, to make decisions that adhere to recommended practice.The study enrolled 982 patients with stable chest pain.The researchers compared decisions on which tests to perform made by a cardiologist and by ARTICA on the same day.
