Biological Age and Other AI Tools in Preventive Cardiology

<p>Biological Age and Other AI Tools in Preventive Cardiology</p> <p>Guest: Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., M.B.A. (<a href='https://twitter.com/CVDprevention'>@CVDprevention</a>)</p> <p>Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (<a href='http://twitter.com/DrSteveKopecky'>@DrSteveKopecky</a>)</p> <p>Vascular age is impacted by factors that determine the aging of the vascular system — the heart, arteries and veins. These factors might predispose people to develop heart attacks, peripheral vascular disease or strokes.</p> <p>Joining us today to discuss efforts to better describe and measure vascular age is Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., M.B.A., chair of Preventive Cardiology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.</p> <p>Specific topics discussed:</p> <ul><li>The concept of vascular age explained</li> <li>Use of electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine vascular age</li> <li>Recommendations to reduce or reverse patients' vascular age</li> <li>Use of ECG to identify conditions it was not originally intended to identify</li> <li>Future impact of artificial intelligence in medicine</li> </ul> <p>Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at <a href='https://cveducation.mayo.edu'>https://cveducation.mayo.edu</a> or on Twitter <a href='https://www.twitter.com/mayocliniccv'>@MayoClinicCV</a>.</p> <p>No CME credit offered for this episode.</p> <p>Podcast episode transcript found <a href='https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/g7ay8z/P-MayoCV12_Biological_Age_and_Other_AI_Tools_in_PC_Lopez-Jimenez_CC_Transcript_Finalaelan.pdf'>here</a>.</p>
