Description
Summary:In the domain of healthcare, most importantly pediatric healthcare, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted the medical field. Congenital heart diseases represent a group of heart diseases that are known to be some of the most critical cardiac conditions present at birth. These heart diseases need a swift diagnosis as well as an intervention to ensure the wellbeing of newborns. Fortunately, with the help of AI, including the highly advanced algorithms, analytics and imaging involved, it provides us with a promising era for neonatal care. This article reviewed published data in PubMed, Science Direct, UpToDate, and Google Scholar between the years 2015-2023. To conclude The use of artificial intelligence in detecting congenital heart diseases has shown great promise in improving the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of AI-based approaches for diagnosing congenital heart diseases, with results indicating that the systems can achieve high levels of sensitivity and specificity. In addition, AI can help reduce the workload of healthcare professionals allowing them to focus on other critical aspects of patient care. Despite the potential benefits of using AI, in addition to detecting congenital heart disease, there are still some challenges to overcome, such as the need for large amounts of high-quality data and the requirement for careful validation of the algorithms. Nevertheless, with ongoing research and development, AI is likely to become an increasingly valuable tool for improving the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart diseases.
