Heart failure (HF) refers to the heart's inability to pump sufficient blood to maintain the body's needs, which has a very serious impact on human health. In recent years, the prevalence of HF has remained high. This paper proposes a multi-view ensem...
Mechanical circulatory support with implantable durable continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs) represents an established surgical treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure refractory to guideline-directed medical t...
BACKGROUND: A deep learning algorithm to detect low ejection fraction (EF) using routine 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has recently been developed and validated. The algorithm was incorporated into the electronic health record (EHR) to automaticall...
We investigated clinical significance of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in heart failure. This study enrolled 32 heart failure patients and 28 control subjects. Total cfDNA levels were not different between groups (P = 0.343). Bisulfite-digital polymerase cha...

BACKGROUND: We determined the impact of data volume and diversity and training conditions on recurrent neural network methods compared with traditional machine learning methods.
Utilizing clinical observational data to estimate individualized treatment effects (ITE) is a challenging task, as confounding inevitably exists in clinical data. Most of the existing models for ITE estimation tackle this problem by creating unbiased...
