Heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and women who suffer a heart attack have a higher mortality rate than men. This has been a matter of concern to cardiologists for decades and has led to controversy in the medical field about the causes and effects of possible gaps in treatment. The problem starts with the symptoms: unlike men, who usually experience chest pain with radiation to the left arm, a heart attack in women often manifests as abdominal pain radiating to the back or as nausea and vomiting. These symptoms are unfortunately often misinterpreted by the patients and healthcare personnel \u2013 with disastrous consequences – writes the University of Zurich (UZH) in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk profile and clinical picture differ in women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An international research team led by Thomas F. L\u00fcscher, professor at the Center for Molecular Cardiology at the UZH, has now investigated the role of biological sex in heart attacks in more detail. \u201cIndeed, there are notable differences in the disease phenotype observed in females and males. Our study shows that women and men differ significantly in their risk factor profile at hospital admission,\u201d says L\u00fcscher. When age differences at admission and existing risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes are disregarded, female heart-attack patients have higher mortality than male patients. \u201cHowever, when these differences are taken into account statistically, women and men have similar mortality,\u201d the cardiologist adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current risk models favor under-treatment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In their study, published in the prestigious journal The Lancet, researchers from Switzerland and the United Kingdom analyzed data from 420,781 patients across Europe who had suffered the most common type of heart attack. \u201cThe study shows that established risk models which guide current patient management are less accurate in females and favor the undertreatment of female patients,\u201d says first author Florian A. Wenzl of the Center for Molecular Medicine at UZH. \u201cUsing a machine learning algorithm and the largest datasets in Europe we were able to develop a novel artificial- intelligence-based risk score which accounts for sex-related differences in the baseline risk profile and improves the prediction of mortality in both sexes,\u201d Wenzl says.<\/p>\n\n\n

AI-based method improves individualized care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many researchers and biotech companies agree that artificial intelligence and Big Data analytics are the next step on the road to personalized patient care. \u201cOur study heralds the era of artificial intelligence in the treatment of heart attacks,\u201d says Wenzl. Modern computer algorithms can learn from large data sets to make accurate predictions about the prognosis of individual patients \u2013 the key to individualized treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas F. L\u00fcscher and his team see huge potential in the application of artificial intelligence for the management of heart disease both in male and female patients. \u201cI hope the implementation of this novel score in treatment algorithms will refine current treatment strategies, reduce sex inequalities, and eventually improve the survival of patients with heart attacks \u2013 both male and female,\u201d says L\u00fcscher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2084,"featured_media":516325,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":""},"categories":[34665],"tags":[69735,40567,32059,49972,34161],"location":[52892],"internal_archives":[],"class_list":["post-397700","selected","type-selected","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","tag-ai-nl-3","tag-artifical-intelligence","tag-heart-attack","tag-heart-disease","tag-university-of-zurich","location-switzerland"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"featured_img":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/zNoYjRSP-pexels-mark-arron-smith-3334824-scaled.jpg","coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/author\/mauro-mereu\/","display_name":"Mauro Mereu"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 4 years ago","modified":"Updated 4 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on August 29, 2022","modified":"Updated on August 29, 2022"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on August 29, 2022 2:45 pm","modified":"Updated on August 29, 2022 2:45 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"category":{"linked":["Health<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Health<\/span>"],"slug":"category","name":"Categories"},"post_tag":{"linked":["AI<\/a>","artifical intelligence<\/a>","heart attack<\/a>","heart disease<\/a>","University of Zurich<\/a>"],"unlinked":["AI<\/span>","artifical intelligence<\/span>","heart attack<\/span>","heart disease<\/span>","University of Zurich<\/span>"],"slug":"post_tag","name":"Tags"},"language":{"linked":["EN<\/a>"],"unlinked":["EN<\/span>"],"slug":"language","name":"Tags"},"post_translations":{"linked":["pll_630cb21266f7b<\/a>"],"unlinked":["pll_630cb21266f7b<\/span>"],"slug":"post_translations","name":""},"location":{"linked":["Switzerland<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Switzerland<\/span>"],"slug":"location","name":"Locations"},"internal_archives":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"internal_archives","name":"Internal Archives"}},"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected\/397700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/selected"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2084"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397700"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=397700"},{"taxonomy":"internal_archives","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal_archives?post=397700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
