Based on a single existing chest X-ray image, the deep learning model predicts future major adverse cardiovascular events with similar performance to an established risk scoring system and may help identify people for preventive use of statin medication.

Researchers have developed a deep learning model that predicts the 10-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) from a single routine chest X-ray. The model had a similar performance to the established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score, according to new study findings presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2022 Annual Meeting.

“Our deep learning model offers a potential solution for population-based opportunistic screening of cardiovascular disease risk using existing chest X-ray images,” said lead author Jakob Weiss,...
