Summary: | Sudden cardiac death/sudden cardiac arrest (SCD/SCA) is an increasingly prevalent cause of mortality globally, particularly in individuals with preexisting cardiac conditions. The ambiguous premortem warnings and the restricted interventional window related to SCD account for the complexity of the condition. Current reports suggest SCD to be accountable for 20% of all deaths hence accurately predicting SCD risk is an imminent concern. Traditional approaches for predicting SCA, particularly "track-and-trigger" warning systems have demonstrated considerable inadequacies, including low sensitivity, false alarms, decreased diagnostic liability, reliance on clinician involvement, and human errors. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models have demonstrated near-perfect accuracy in predicting SCA risk, allowing clinicians to intervene timely. Given the constraints of current diagnostics, exploring the benefits of AI and ML models in enhancing outcomes for SCA/SCD is imperative. This review article aims to investigate the efficacy of AI and ML models in predicting and managing SCD, particularly targeting accuracy in prediction. |
