In-office and At-Home Blood Pressure Measurement, Artificial Intelligence and Cardiovascular Care, Inflammatory Risk
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at office measurement vs. ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and its associations with mortality in patients with or without diabetes. Dr. Eagle then reviews two related articles: a report in JACC on Artificial Intelligence and cardiovascular care, and a recent article from The Lancet on inflammatory risk and cardiovascular events in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease in which AI played an important role.
