Abstract

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome with varied presentations and progression patterns. Traditional classification systems based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) have limitations in capturing the heterogeneity of HF. We aimed to explore the application of deep learning, specifically a Transformer-based approach, to analyse electronic health records (EHR) for a refined subtyping of patients with HF.
