Abstract
The rapid evolution of highly adaptable and reusable artificial intelligence models facilitates the implementation of digital twinning and has the potential to redefine cardiovascular risk prevention. Digital twinning combines vast amounts of data from diverse sources to construct virtual models of an individual. Emerging artificial intelligence models, called generalist AI, enable the processing of different types of data, including data from electronic health records, laboratory results, medical texts, imaging, genomics, or graphs. Among their unprecedented capabilities are an easy adaptation of a model to previously unseen medical tasks and the ability to reason and explain output using precise medical language derived from scientific literature, medical guidelines, or knowledge graphs. The proposed combination of a digital twinning approach with generalist AI is a path to accelerate the implementation of precision medicine and enhance early recognition and prevention of cardiovascular disease. This proposed strategy may extend to other domains to advance predictive, preventive, and precision medicine and also boost health research discoveries.
期刊介绍:
The Hellenic Journal of Cardiology (International Edition, ISSN 1109-9666) is the official journal of the Hellenic Society of Cardiology and aims to publish high-quality articles on all aspects of cardiovascular medicine. A primary goal is to publish in each issue a number of original articles related to clinical and basic research. Many of these will be accompanied by invited editorial comments.
Hot topics, such as molecular cardiology, and innovative cardiac imaging and electrophysiological mapping techniques, will appear frequently in the journal in the form of invited expert articles or special reports. The Editorial Committee also attaches great importance to subjects related to continuing medical education, the implementation of guidelines and cost effectiveness in cardiology.
