    Predicted age was associated with increased risks of coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke, highlighting its clinical relevance.

  • 4

    The model focused on key cardiac structures, indicating the potential of AI in enhancing cardiovascular risk assessment.

  • 5

    Survival analysis showed that patients predicted to be older had significantly worse outcomes, emphasizing the importance of biological age.
