ABSTRACT
Cardiology is one of the medical specialties that uses technology on a large scale for routine clinical care. Artificial intelligence can be applied in cardiological care in several ways such as: Predicting of various diseases by analysis of signals from 12-lead ECG and wearable-portable devices; detecting arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation; obtaining and processing the appropriate image during imaging examinations, making a diagnosis by taking measurements; and guiding personalized medicine practices with diagnosis through voice and natural language analysis, clinical risk determination algorithms or phenotyping. Large-scale studies involving clinicians are essential in order to evaluate these applications, which have not yet entered routine clinical practice.
