Don’t Go Breaking My Heart: AI in Cardio and COVID-19 Imaging

Join us this week as Dr. Arash Kheradvar, a cardiovascular engineer and a professor of biomedical engineering and medicine at UC Irvine, discusses his innovative research in using artificial intelligence to analyze cardiac MRIs for patients with congenital heart disease. Recently, he has used this AI technology to predict the course of the disease from looking at chest scans of COVID-19 patients. Dr. Kheradvar has worked on several lifesaving cardiac technologies through the years, has founded his own research lab at UCI, and is an elected fellow of the American Heart Association.
