With the continuous development of science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI) with self-directed learning, induction and deduction, low error rate and other advantages has become the most popular emerging technology. In the traditional medical field, especially in cardiovascular diseases with high incidence, AI can not only provide auxiliary diagnosis and treatment for patients, but also enable doctors to optimize traditional risk assessment models which can predict the evolution of the disease better. Thereby, AI can provide more convenience and new perspectives for clinical work. This paper reviews the research progress of AI in the cardiovascular field in recent years.
