    AI can detect differences in heart tissue related to inherited diseases that are not visible to the human eye.

  • 2

    The study included seventy-three SADS cases with normal autopsy results and hearts that appeared normal microscopically.

  • 3

    Six cases had genetic changes linked to heart muscle or rhythm diseases, showing different tissue patterns.

  • 4

    AI-based analysis revealed less connective tissue and higher fat cell density in hearts with genetic changes.

  • 5

    The findings suggest AI may identify early cardiac changes, but larger studies are needed for confirmation.
