AI eye scan predicts heart attack, stroke risk

A new, quick eye scan using AI can predict a person's risk of heart attack or stroke within the next decade. This could revolutionize preventative healthcare. The AI analyzes retinal photographs, identifying potential blood vessel issues in seconds. The test, which takes less than a minute, showed 70% accuracy in predicting major cardiovascular events in a study. Researchers hope this test will become a routine screening tool, alongside blood pressure and cholesterol checks. Further research is needed to confirm its reliability and practical implementation.
