Abstract

BACKGROUND: To accurately diagnose and control heart failure (HF), it is important to carry out a simple assessment of elevated pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP). The aim of this study was to develop and validate an objective method for detecting elevated PAWP by applying deep learning (DL) to a chest x-ray (CXR).
