Currently, the academic community, industry, and governmental institutions worldwide are dedicated to developing and applying artificial intelligence and other advanced analytical tools to drive the transformation of healthcare services. However, there are still many challenges, with only a few artificial intelligence tools having achieved sufficient effectiveness in improving clinical outcomes for cardiovascular diseases and strokes to be widely used. In response, the American Heart Association has formulated related scientific statements outlining the latest research developments in artificial intelligence algorithms and data science for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. These statements also summarize the current best practices, research gaps, and existing challenges of artificial intelligence tools, aiming to promote the development of this field. This article interprets this scientific statement in conjunction with the relevant research practices of the author's team.
