Toward advanced diagnosis and management of inherited arrhythmia syndromes: Harnessing the capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The use of advanced computational technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), is now exerting a significant influence on various aspects of life, including health care and science. AI has garnered remarkable public notice with the release of deep learning models that can model anything from artwork to academic papers with minimal human intervention. Machine learning, a method that uses algorithms to extract information from raw data and represent it in a model, and deep learning, a method that uses multiple layers to progressively extract higher-level features from the raw input with minimal human intervention, are increasingly leveraged to tackle problems in the health sector, including utilization for clinical decision support in cardiovascular medicine. Inherited arrhythmia syndromes are a clinical domain where multiple unanswered questions remain despite unprecedented progress over the past 2 decades with the introduction of large panel genetic testing and the first steps in precision medicine. In particular, AI tools can help address gaps in clinical diagnosis by identifying individuals with concealed or transient phenotypes; enhance risk stratification by elevating recognition of underlying risk burden beyond widely recognized risk factors; improve prediction of response to therapy, and further prognostication. In this contemporary review, we provide a summary of the AI models developed to solve challenges in inherited arrhythmia syndromes and also outline gaps that can be filled with the development of intelligent AI models.
