NORTHERN MICHIGAN,. (WPBN\/WGTU) &#8211; &#8211; A new artificial intelligence-powered screening program at McLaren HealthCare aims to flag thousands of patients who may be at risk for cardiovascular disease by analyzing CT chest scans that were originally ordered for other reasons.McLaren HealthCare and Bunkerhill Health, the founders of the AI-assisted tool, said the program will review previous CT chest scans to detect early signs of heart disease. Health officials said the tool will be used for patients who receive scans that are not directly related to heart issues.Dr. Samer Kazziha, McLaren Health Care chief medical director of McLaren Heart &#038; Vascular Institute, said the system is expected to identify risk in a portion of patients who undergo CT scans.\u201cWe expect about 8 to 10 percent of patients who undergo CT scan through the system will end up being patients who have risk factors such as elevated coronary calcium score or aortic valve calcium score, who have not seen a primary care physician or cardiologist,\u201d Kazziha said.Comment with BubblesBE THE FIRST TO COMMENTKazziha added that the 8% to 10% estimate translates to about 3,000 to 4,000 patients a year.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McLaren launches AI program to flag heart disease risk in prior CT chest scans https:\/\/upnorthlive.com\/news\/local\/mclaren-launches-ai-program-to-flag-heart-disease-risk-in-prior-ct-chest-scans&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":188711,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/upnorthlive.com\/resources\/media2\/16x9\/1920\/1320\/center\/90\/b0ed6fcc-d4be-4cd2-ad21-140717dde2b3-be4aadc4563f453ebdc6e32b0179eca9.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-188710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188710"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188710"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":188712,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188710\/revisions\/188712"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
