Blood Test Uses AI to Detect Peripheral Artery Disease
Researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital and Prevencio, Inc. have developed a simple new blood test which accurately diagnoses significant Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a circulatory problem in which plaque-narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to a patient’s limbs and kidneys. According to the data presented at American Heart Association 2017 Scientific Sessions, the test could be used as a gatekeeper to imaging or invasive testing, thereby reducing cost and exposures to intravenous contrast and/or ionizing radiation.
