This study explored the use of unsupervised machine learning to identify subgroups of patients with heart failure who used telehealth services in the home health setting, and examined intercluster differences for patient characteristics related to me...
BACKGROUND: Current diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is suboptimal. We tested the hypothesis that comprehensive machine learning (ML) of left ventricular function at rest and exercise objectively captures difference...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this review is to present an up-to-date overview of the application of machine learning methods in heart failure including diagnosis, classification, readmissions and medication adherence.

Decades-long research efforts have shown that Heart Failure (HF) is the most expensive diagnosis for hospitalizations and the most frequent diagnosis for 30-day readmissions. If risk stratification for readmission of HF patients could be carried out ...
BACKGROUND: Remote monitoring of patients with heart failure (HF) using wearable devices can allow patient-specific adjustments to treatments and thereby potentially reduce hospitalizations. We aimed to assess HF state using wearable measurements of ...

BACKGROUND: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular function and intraventricular conduction delay. However, individual outcomes vary significantly. This study so...
The circulating concentration of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has been shown to be a diagnostic tool for the detection of heart failure. Several factors influence NT-proBNP levels including age, sex, and body mass index (BMI)....

OBJECTIVE: This paper describes a new congestive heart failure (CHF) treatment performance measure information extraction system - CHIEF - developed as part of the Automated Data Acquisition for Heart Failure project, a Veterans Health Administration...
We present here a vision of individualized Knowledge Graphs (iKGs) in cardiovascular medicine: a modern informatics platform of exchange and inquiry that comprehensively integrates biological knowledge with medical histories and health outcomes of in...
