Ethical Challenges and Opportunities in Applying Artificial Intelligence to Cardiovascular Medicine

Much anticipation surrounds artificial fi cial intelligence's ' s (AI) emergence as a promising tool in health care. It offers potential to revolutionise clinical practice through assistive and autonomous operation. The high prevalence of cardiac disease globally provides an opportunity for AI technology to increase health care efficiency fi ciency and improve patient outcomes. This article explores the ethical considerations necessary for safe and acceptable implantation of AI within the health care space. We aim to highlight several challenges such as data privacy, consent, sustainability, and cybersecurity. In addition, we outline the future opportunities for AI use in cardiovascular medicine. Overall, we argue that AI deployment demands robust regulation, transparent algorithms, and safeguarding of patient privacy.
