Cover Story: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has an increasing prevalence and association with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). In recent years, there has been growing interest in identifying new predictors of MACE in AF patients. This novel approach is associated with a reduction in the risk of MACE. The role of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques offer a promising avenue for more effective prediction of AF progression. Incorporating machine learning algorithms into the clinical management of people at high risk of AF and those with AF offers potential benefits, such as personalised risk assessment, data-driven decision support and improved patient care. This study shows that the application of machine learning is highly effective in predicting MACE in patients with newly diagnosed AF. View this paper
