The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Prediction, Risk Stratification, and Personalized Treatment Planning for Congenital Heart Diseases.

This narrative review delves into the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting, stratifying risk, and personalizing treatment planning for congenital heart disease (CHD). CHD is a complex condition that affects individuals across various age groups. The review highlights the challenges in predicting risks, planning treatments, and prognosticating long-term outcomes due to CHD's multifaceted nature, limited data, ethical concerns, and individual variabilities. AI, with its ability to analyze extensive data sets, presents a promising solution. The review emphasizes the need for larger, diverse datasets, the integration of various data sources, and the analysis of longitudinal data. Prospective validation in real-world clinical settings, interpretability, and the importance of human clinical expertise are also underscored. The ethical considerations surrounding privacy, consent, bias, monitoring, and human oversight are examined. AI's implications include improved patient outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and real-time decision support. The review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI's potential for revolutionizing CHD management and highlights the significance of collaboration and transparency to address challenges and limitations.
