The UK's University of Oxford recently announced a major breakthrough in heart attack prevention, thanks to the development of a tool powered by artificial intelligence. It could help detect potentially fatal heart attacks years in advance.

The researchers worked on the idea of developing an AI tool capable of analyzing cardiac risk using sophisticated algorithms. While doctors currently rely mainly on data such as age and lifestyle to assess patients' risk of heart attack, this tool uses algorithms to examine more detailed medical data, for a personalized and much more accurate risk assessment. It can predict risk up to 10 years before an incident occurs.
