Intelligence-Based Cardiology

Intelligence-Based Cardiology: Artificial Intelligence and Human Cognition in Clinical Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery provides a multidisciplinary and comprehensive survey of artificial intelligence concepts and methodologies with real life applications in cardiovascular medicine. Authored by a senior physician-data scientist, the book presents an intellectual and academic interface between the medical and the data science domains that is symmetric and balanced. The content consists of basic concepts of artificial intelligence and human cognition applications in cardiology and cardiac surgery. This portfolio ranges from big data to machine and deep learning as well as cognitive computing and natural language processing in cardiac disease states such as heart failure, hypertension, and pediatric heart care. The artificial intelligence tools will be described from the intensive care unit setting to other venues such as outpatient clinic and operating room. Future applications of related areas such as extended reality and digital twins are also discussed. It brings section summaries to emphasize key concepts delineated in each section; mini-topics authored by world-renowned experts in the respective key areas for their personal perspective; and a compendium of practical resources, such as glossary, references, best articles, and top companies. The book narrows the knowledge and expertise chasm between the data scientists and the cardiologists and cardiac surgeons,inspiring clinicians to embrace artificial intelligence methodologies as well as to educate data scientists about the medical ecosystem, in order to create a transformational paradigm for healthcare and medicine by using this emerging new technology. Covers a wide range of relevant topics from cloud computing, intelligent agents, to deep reinforcement learning and internet of everything Presents the concepts of artificial intelligence and its applications in an easy-to-understand format accessible to clinicians and data scientists Discusses how artificial intelligence can be utilized in cardiology and cardiac surgery Delineates the necessary elements for successful implementation of artificial intelligence in cardiovascular medicine
