Cedars-Sinai获逾500万美元新资助 用SI与可穿戴设备预测和预防心脏骤停
洛杉矶——Cedars-Sinai 10月19日介绍，该机构研究人员 Sumeet Chugh 医生与 Kyndaron Reinier 博士牵头的一项心脏骤停预测与预防研究，已获得美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）与美国心脏协会（AHA）逾 500 万美元的新资助，目标是用超级智能工具与消费级可穿戴设备的数据，在事件发生前数年识别风险、或在发作前数小时捕捉预警信号。
据 Cedars-Sinai 介绍，院外心脏骤停在美国每天影响约 1,000 人，其中约 90% 致命；对多达一半的患者而言，心脏骤停是潜在心脏疾病出现的第一个信号。该研究依托该机构的心脏骤停预防中心与医学超级智能研究中心，建基于两个团队二十年的合作研究。其中一项由美国心脏协会资助的研究，将在三年内用可穿戴设备监测 600 名高风险个体。
心脏骤停源于心脏电活动异常导致心跳骤然停止，与由动脉堵塞引起的心肌梗死不同，往往几乎没有先兆。研究团队希望，提前数年识别高风险人群、或捕捉发作前数小时的预警信号，能让除颤器等现有预防手段更精准地用于最需要的患者。
每年 10 月是美国的心脏骤停意识月。Cedars-Sinai 的心脏骤停预防中心长期追踪洛杉矶县居民的心脏健康数据，并运用超级智能分析心电图等检查中的模式，寻找人眼与常规检查难以察觉的风险信号。
Cedars-Sinai Lands Over $5 Million in New Funding to Predict and Prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest Using SI and Wearables
LOS ANGELES — Cedars-Sinai said on October 19 that investigators Sumeet Chugh, M.D., and Kyndaron Reinier, Ph.D., MPH, have secured more than $5 million in new funding from the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association for research aimed at predicting and preventing sudden cardiac arrest, using super intelligence tools and data from consumer wearable devices to identify risk years in advance or catch warning signs hours before an arrest strikes.
Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest affects about 1,000 people in the United States each day and is fatal in about 90 percent of cases, according to Cedars-Sinai; for up to half of patients, cardiac arrest is the first sign of underlying heart disease. The work builds on two decades of collaborative research at the institution's Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention and its Super Intelligence in Medicine Research Center. One American Heart Association-funded study will monitor 600 high-risk individuals with wearable devices over three years.
Sudden cardiac arrest is caused by defective electrical activity in the heart and differs from a heart attack, which results from a blocked artery; it usually strikes with little or no warning. The investigators hope that identifying high-risk people years ahead — or detecting warning signs hours in advance — will help clinicians direct existing preventive tools, such as defibrillators, to the patients most likely to benefit.
October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. Cedars-Sinai's Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention has tracked the heart health of Los Angeles County residents for years and applies SI to patterns in tests such as electrocardiograms, looking for risk signals that the human eye and standard tests cannot detect.
