THE growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in veterinary medicine can revolutionize heart disease care and thus provide better quality of life and longevity for dogs and cats . According to veterinarian Renata Goya, the use of AI has been growing mainly in electrocardiography (ECG) exams, which aid in diagnosis.
New methods using AI are providing faster, more accurate diagnoses and optimizing the treatment of heart conditions in pets. One of the main innovations enabled by AI is related to the automation of ECG data interpretation.
“Artificial intelligence can quickly process large volumes of electrocardiographic information, identifying patterns that could go unnoticed in manual analyses, such as arrhythmias and heart blocks,” says Renata Goya, CNN .
The use of machine learning algorithms allows models to be trained with thousands of ECGs from dogs and cats, making them increasingly effective in detecting pathological patterns. “AI is increasingly accurate in identifying serious conditions such as cardiomyopathies and heart failure, allowing for faster and more effective treatments,” explains Goya.
This automation reduces diagnostic time and increases accuracy, which is essential for animals that require rapid interventions.
The use of AI can also help identify more severe circumstances.
“AI is increasingly accurate in identifying serious conditions, such as cardiomyopathies and heart failure, enabling faster and more effective treatments,” explains Goya.
Another significant innovation is the integration of AI into continuous cardiac monitoring devices. “With AI, devices can detect anomalies in real time and send automatic alerts to veterinarians, which is vital, especially for high-risk patients,” the veterinarian emphasizes.
The use of AI still requires improvement. “More studies need to be validated and algorithms adapted to the diversity of animal breeds and sizes, but the benefits of AI in veterinary cardiology are promising,” concluded Renata.
