Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or ACS is crucial for improved management and prognosis of patients. The rapid growth of machine learning (ML) research has significantly enhanced our understanding of ACS. Most studies have focused on applying ML to detect ACS, predict prognosis, manage treatment, identify risk factors, and discover potential biomarkers, particularly using data from electrocardiograms (ECGs), electronic medical records (EMRs), imaging, and omics as the main data modality. Additionally, integrating ML with smart devices such as wearables, smartphones, and sensor technology enables real-time dynamic assessments, enhancing clinical care for patients with ACS. This review provided an overview of the workflow and key concepts of ML as they relate to ACS. It then provides an overview of current ML algorithms used for ACS diagnosis, prognosis, identification of potential risk biomarkers, and management. Furthermore, we discuss the current challenges faced by ML algorithms in this field and how they might be addressed in the future, especially in the context of medicine.
