Article Synopsis
- Aortic stiffness, a measure of vascular health related to cardiovascular risk, is typically difficult to assess but can be approximated through analysis of arterial pressure waveforms rather than traditional pulse wave velocity measurements.
- The study trained a convolutional neural network using waveform data from over 10,000 Icelandic participants and validated the model with the Framingham Heart Study, correlating waveform features with negative inverse carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity to create an AI-based vascular age estimate.
- The AI-VascularAge model showed significant associations with future cardiovascular events, establishing its potential as a reliable and predictive tool in assessing cardiovascular risk beyond simple clinical measures.
