title = "Artificial intelligence methods to support clinical decision making in cardiology",
abstract = "This thesis explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiology, focusing on coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF). It examines AI's potential to enhance cardiovascular diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment decision-making processes. Key innovations include deep learning algorithms for predicting exercise stress test outcomes in CAD, a multi-modal model combining CCTA volume data with demographics to predict major adverse cardiovascular events, and multi-label ML models predicting risks for AF patients. Additionally, it evaluates ML models for predicting acute coronary syndrome and mortality risks from COX-2 inhibitors. The findings aim to improve clinical outcomes and streamline healthcare operations.",
