Using the results of an electrocardiogram, doctors can use AI to estimate a person's cardiac age.

Physician Douglas Vaughn of Northwestern University explains the tool has been developed by using millions of EKG results and machine learning to detect very subtle changes and patterns that track with heart disease risk.

He says the tools are still being studied for accuracy and may become part of preventive medicine to detect disease earlier in life.
