Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Increased LDL cholesterol is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases; therefore, adequate therapy reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a tool that can significantly help doctors select the optimal treatment aimed at each patient individually. Based on the above, the question arises: Which artificial intelligence model allows us to recommend the best treatment to control LDL levels according to the patient's cardiovascular risk factor?
