Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and solving problems.

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) began in the mid-20th century, with significant milestones such as the coining of the term “artificial intelligence” by John McCarthy in 1956 and the development of early AI programs like the Logic Theorist. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in medicine by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, personalizing treatment plans, and supporting clinical decision-making through advanced data analysis.

Cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence (AI) is driving innovations in areas such as natural language processing, computer vision, and autonomous systems, significantly enhancing capabilities across various industries and clinical applications that help in disease diagnosis, prognosis and decision-making in management plans.

This Special Issue will focus on groundbreaking advancements in artificial intelligence, featuring cutting-edge research and innovative applications across the field of cardiovascular care. We welcome submissions of reviews and articles using AI-enabled programs.

Background/Objectives: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been introduced as an optimal treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. Predicting these outcomes following TAVR is crucial. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool for improving post-TAVR outcome prediction. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to summarize the current evidence on utilizing AI in predicting post-TAVR outcomes. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted to evaluate the studies focused on TAVR that applied AI methods for risk stratification. We assessed various ML algorithms, including random forests, neural networks, extreme gradient boosting, and support vector machines. Model performance metrics—recall, area under the curve (AUC), and accuracy—were collected with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to pool effect estimates. Results: We included 43 studies evaluating 366,269 patients (mean age 80 ± 8.25; 52.9% men) following TAVR. Meta-analyses for AI model performances demonstrated the following results: all-cause mortality (AUC = 0.78 (0.74–0.82), accuracy = 0.81 (0.69–0.89), and recall = 0.90 (0.70–0.97); permanent pacemaker implantation or new left bundle branch block (AUC = 0.75 (0.68–0.82), accuracy = 0.73 (0.59–0.84), and recall = 0.87 (0.50–0.98)); valve-related dysfunction (AUC = 0.73 (0.62–0.84), accuracy = 0.79 (0.57–0.91), and recall = 0.54 (0.26–0.80)); and major adverse cardiovascular events (AUC = 0.79 (0.67–0.92)). Subgroup analyses based on the model development approaches indicated that models incorporating baseline clinical data, imaging, and biomarker information enhanced predictive performance. Conclusions: AI-based risk prediction for TAVR complications has demonstrated promising performance. However, it is necessary to evaluate the efficiency of the aforementioned models in external validation datasets. Full article
