Abstract

Purpose of Review

Bias in artificial intelligence (AI) models can result in unintended consequences. In cardiovascular imaging, biased AI models used in clinical practice can negatively affect patient outcomes. Biased AI models result from decisions made when training and evaluating a model. This paper is a comprehensive guide for AI development teams to understand assumptions in datasets and chosen metrics for outcome/ground truth, and how this translates to real-world performance for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Recent Findings

CVDs are the number one cause of mortality worldwide; however, the prevalence, burden, and outcomes of CVD vary across gender and race. Several biomarkers are also shown to vary among different populations and ethnic/racial groups. Inequalities in clinical trial inclusion, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment are preserved in health data that is ultimately used to train AI algorithms, leading to potential biases in model performance. Despite the notion that AI models themselves are biased, AI can also help to mitigate bias (e.g., bias auditing tools).

Summary

In this review paper, we describe in detail implicit and explicit biases in the care of cardiovascular disease that may be present in existing datasets but are not obvious to model developers. We review disparities in CVD outcomes across different genders and race groups, differences in treatment of historically marginalized groups, and disparities in clinical trials for various cardiovascular diseases and outcomes. Thereafter, we summarize some CVD AI literature that shows bias in CVD AI as well as approaches that AI is being used to mitigate CVD bias.

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
