Artificial intelligence integration in cardiac care requires practitioners to actively engage and develop critical judgement to support, rather than replace, skilled clinical expertise.
In this month's editorial, consultant editor, Tracey Bowden, examines the evolution of artificial intelligence in cardiac care from familiar electrocardiogram interpretation algorithms to newer systems that handle communication, documentation, and patient education. It introduces a new series launching in the current issue on generative artificial intelligence in health sciences education and practice, emphasising the need for cardiac practitioners to actively engage with artificial intelligence integration rather than become passive recipients of imposed technology. The author, Stian Reimers, argues that practitioners must develop the knowledge and critical judgement to determine how artificial intelligence can support – not replace – skilled cardiac care while maintaining clinical expertise and therapeutic relationships.
