Innovative AI-enabled research studies led by HeartLung’s founder Dr. Morteza Naghavi show life-saving potential for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Chicago, November 18, 2024 — HeartLung Technologies is thrilled to announce that seven of its scientific research studies were presented at the 2024 Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association that coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Heart Association. The event, which took place on November 16-18, 2024, brought a large number of cardiovascular specialists, including physicians, nurses, research scientists, and industry experts, to Chicago.
The AHA24 presentations by HeartLung Technologies showcase cutting-edge research and innovations that have the potential to significantly impact cardiovascular healthcare. The following studies have been accepted for presentations:
1. AI-CVD: Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Opportunistic Screening of Coronary Artery Calcium Computed Tomography Scans for Predicting CVD Events and All-Cause Mortality: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
2. Incorporating AI-enabled Left Atrial Volume Measurement from Coronary Artery Calcium Scans (AI-CAC) to CHA2DS2s-VASc Risk Score Improves Stroke Prediction in the Asymptomatic Population: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
3. AI-enabled Cardiac Chambers Volumetry in Coronary Artery Calcium Scans (AI-CAC) vs. ASCVD Pooled Cohorts Equation and PREVENT Risk Scores: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
4. Coronary Artery Calcium Scans Powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI-CAC) Predicts Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Comparably to Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
5. Automated Left Ventricular Volumetry using Artificial Intelligence in Coronary Calcium Scans (AI-CAC) Predicts Heart Failure Comparably to Cardiac MRI and Outperforms NT-proBNP: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
6. AI-enabled bone mineral density (AutoBMD AI) measurement in coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans associated with high CAC score independently of conventional risk factors: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
7. AI-enabled Cardiac Chambers Volumetry in Non-Contrast Cardiac CT scans (AI-CAC) Detects HFrEF vs. HFpEF

Every year AHA’s scientific review committee selects presentations through a rigorous peer-review process. The fact that HeartLung Technologies received acceptance for 7 presentations speaks volume for the scientific power of HeartLung’s outstanding team. The AI-CAC™ and AI-CVD™ studies demonstrate the company’s ongoing commitment to advancing cardiovascular health in preventive cardiology through the power of AI.
Dr. Morteza Naghavi, the founder and president of HeartLung Technologies expressed his pride in the team’s accomplishments "I’m so proud of our team at HeartLung and our esteemed academic collaborators” said Dr. Naghavi. “Our goal is to advance preventive cardiology with AI.”
About American Heart Association
The American Heart Association (AHA) is a nonprofit organization in the United States that funds cardiovascular medical research, educates consumers on healthy living and fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke. They are known for publishing guidelines on cardiovascular disease and prevention, standards on basic life support, advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), pediatric advanced life support (PALS), and in 2014 issued the first guidelines for preventing strokes in women.[1] The American Heart Association is also known for operating a number of highly visible public service campaigns starting in the 1970s, and also operates several fundraising events. Originally formed in Chicago in 1924,[2][3] the American Heart Association is currently headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It was originally headquartered in New York City.[2][3] The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency.[4] The mission of the organization, updated in 2018, is "To be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives."[5] The organization's work can be divided into five key areas: research; heart and brain health; health equity; advocacy; and professional education and development. This year AHA celebrated its 100th year anniversary in Chicago along with the 2024 Annual Scientific Sessions where HeartLung Technologies presented its AI-CAC™ and AI-CVD™ research studies.
