The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has revolutionized cardiovascular genetics, generating vast amounts of data. A major challenge in the genomic era is the efficient and accurate identification of causative genetic variants associated with cardiovascular disease. Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven computational approaches offer a powerful solution by enabling the automation of variant classification, improving consistency and reproducibility, and enhancing predictive accuracy. These methods may guide not only variant classification, variant effect prediction, and clinical prioritization, but also open the door to data-driven precision medicine, enabling more accurate and individualized diagnoses and targeted therapeutic strategies tailored to each patient’s unique genetic and clinical profile. This state-of-the-art review provides a structured overview of AI methodologies applied to cardiovascular genomics, beginning with rule-based expert systems that encode standardized guidelines for consistent variant interpretation. Next, we examine machine learning approaches capable of identifying complex patterns in annotated multimodal clinical and multi-omic datasets. The role of deep learning algorithms is highlighted for their ability to extract features from high-dimensional, unstructured data relevant to cardiovascular disease. In addition, the potential of generative AI is explored, including applications in synthetic data generation, variant impact prediction, and automated summarization of biomedical literature. Despite advances, several challenges remain, including data heterogeneity, the need for explainable AI models to elucidate the decision mechanisms, and the complexity linked to the integration of AI-based tools into clinical workflows. Addressing these issues requires interdisciplinary collaboration among clinicians, geneticists, data scientists, and bioinformaticians to ensure the effective translation of AI-generated insights into clinical practice. This review aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on the evolving role of AI in cardiovascular genomics and its implications for advancing precision medicine.

Background The current subclassification of migraine is according to headache frequency and aura status. The variability in migraine symptoms, disease course, and response to treatment suggest the presence of additional heterogeneity or subclasses within migraine. Objective The study objective was to subclassify migraine via a data‐driven approach, identifying latent factors by jointly exploiting multiple sets of brain structural features obtained via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Migraineurs ( n = 66) and healthy controls ( n = 54) had brain MRI measurements of cortical thickness, cortical surface area, and volumes for 68 regions. A multimodality factor mixture model was used to subclassify MRIs and to determine the brain structural factors that most contributed to the subclassification. Clinical characteristics of subjects in each subgroup were compared. Results Automated MRI classification divided the subjects into two subgroups. Migraineurs in subgroup #1 had more severe allodynia symptoms during migraines (6.1 ± 5.3 vs. 3.6 ± 3.2, P = .03), more years with migraine (19.2 ± 11.3 years vs 13 ± 8.3 years, P = .01), and higher Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) scores (25 ± 22.9 vs 15.7 ± 12.2, P = .04). There were not differences in headache frequency or migraine aura status between the two subgroups. Conclusions Data‐driven subclassification of brain MRIs based upon structural measurements identified two subgroups. Amongst migraineurs, the subgroups differed in allodynia symptom severity, years with migraine, and migraine‐related disability. Since allodynia is associated with this imaging‐based subclassification of migraine and prior publications suggest that allodynia impacts migraine treatment response and disease prognosis, future migraine diagnostic criteria could consider allodynia when defining migraine subgroups.
