Description
Lazar Velicki and seven co-authors weigh in 2026 what artificial intelligence is doing to heart surgery and to the training of heart surgeons. AI tools now help predict risk, read scans, monitor patients, and automate parts of the workflow, and computer vision is starting to judge surgical video.
The strongest evidence, the authors say, covers risk prediction around surgery, and even there the gains over standard statistics are often modest. In training, simulators and scored video feedback could widen practice chances, yet they warn against letting automation erode hard-won human skill. The review urges safeguards so that expertise survives the tools meant to help it.
