The development of artificial intelligence (AI) began in the mid-20th century but has been rapidly accelerating in the past decade. Reflecting the development of digital health over the past few years, this trend is also seen in medicine. The field of cardiovascular medicine uses a wide variety and a large amount of biosignals, so there are many situations where AI can contribute. The development of AI is in progress for all aspects of the healthcare system, including the prevention, screening, and treatment of diseases and the prediction of the prognosis. AI is expected to be used to provide specialist-level medical care, even in a situation where medical resources are scarce. However, like other medical devices, the concept and mechanism of AI must be fully understood when used; otherwise, it may be used inappropriately, resulting in detriment to the patient. Therefore, it is important to understand what we need to know as a cardiologist handling AI. This review introduces the basics and principles of AI, then shows how far the current development of AI has come, and finally gives a brief introduction of how to start the AI development for those who want to develop their own AI.
人工智能(AI)的发展始于 20 世纪中期,但在过去十年中发展迅速。这一趋势反映了过去几年数字医疗的发展,在医学领域也有所体现。心血管医学领域使用了各种各样的大量生物信号,因此人工智能有很多可以发挥作用的地方。人工智能的发展正在为医疗保健系统的各个方面进行,包括疾病的预防、筛查和治疗以及预后的预测。预计人工智能将被用于提供专家级别的医疗护理,即使在医疗资源匮乏的情况下也是如此。然而,与其他医疗设备一样,在使用人工智能时必须充分理解其概念和机制;否则,可能会被不当使用,从而对患者造成伤害。因此,了解作为一名处理 AI 的心脏病专家需要知道什么是很重要的。这篇综述介绍了 AI 的基础知识和原理,然后展示了当前 AI 的发展到了什么程度,最后对于那些想要开发自己的 AI 的人,简要介绍了如何开始开发 AI。
