A research version of the artificial intelligence language model ChatGPT provided appropriate recommendations for most CVD queries, according to findings published in JAMA.
“The high level of appropriateness across topics that would seem more sophisticated — for example, what should someone do if they have high cholesterol despite taking a statin — the answer was very reasonable when our reviewers looked at it,” Ashish Sarraju, MD, a preventive cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic, told Healio. “That surprised us.”
It was the top story in cardiology last week.
Another top story was about residents of “food swamp” communities, who may be at increased risk for stroke. These communities, according to researchers, provide more fast-food options than healthy options.
