Background and Aim: Cardiovascular diseases have a very high prevalence globally and are recognized as one of the main causes of mortality worldwide. Artificial intelligence, as a novel technology, has garnered attention in recent years in Iran and other parts of the world for the management of a wide variety of diseases. The present study aimed to systematically review research studies conducted in the field of applying artificial intelligence in cardiovascular diseases.
Materials and Methods: To investigate research studies conducted in the field of cardiovascular diseases utilizing artificial intelligence, the Persian language databases SID, Google Scholar, and Magiran were searched. This search was conducted without time limitations on April 3, 2024 and included all research studies that, up to this date, had used various artificial intelligence methods in the field of cardiovascular diseases in the present systematic review.
Results: The results of the search in the aforementioned three databases led to the retrieval of 17,819 research studies, of which 46 research studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. These research studies had used artificial intelligence in three areas: prediction, treatment, and diagnosis. Neural networks (n=22), support vector machines (n=20), and decision trees (n=16) were the algorithms that were used more than other techniques. The data sources of the included research studies were mainly patient medical records and the UCI database. Additionally, MATLAB software was used more than other software. The most frequently mentioned limitations in the research studies included not considering all factors, limited access to data, insufficient data, the presence of noise in signals or images, and the presence of outliers, missing values, and non-normality of data.
Conclusion: The systematic review of research studies conducted in the field of cardiovascular diseases utilizing artificial intelligence showed that this technology has been used in a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, and most of the conducted research studies confirmed its effectiveness and successful performance.
