When your EKG is interpreted using artificial intelligence, you may find out that your body is years younger or older than your birthday tally would predict.  Cardiologists at the Mayo Clinic draw this conclusion using a convolutional neural network to help read EKGs from 25,144 subjects.

 

Those with a predicted age 7 to 14 years older, had a 94% higher risk of cardiac death and those with a gap of 14 years or more had triple the risk of death.  Those predicted to be more than 7 years younger had a 78% lower risk of cardiac death.

 

Control your fate with regular exercise that is the true fountain of youth.
