Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ambiguity in diagnosing acute heart failure (AHF) leads to inappropriate treatment and potential side effects of rescue medications. To address this issue, this study aimed to use multimodality deep learning models combining chest X-ray (CXR) and electronic health record (EHR) data to screen patients with abnormal N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in emergency departments.
