BACKGROUND: Predicting the clinical trajectory of individual patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) is essential to inform clinical care. Machine learning approaches can potentially overcome the limitations of conventional statistical methods and provide more accurate, personalized risk estimates.
