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 combinin...
INTRODUCTION: Developing accurate models for predicting the risk of 30-day readmission is a major healthcare interest. Evidence suggests that models developed using machine learning (ML) may have better discrimination than conventional statistical mo...

Heart Failure (HF) is a life-threatening condition. It affects more than 64 million people worldwide. Early diagnosis of HF is extremely crucial. In this study, we propose utilization of machine learning (ML) models to predict severity of HF from pri...
AIMS: Certain critical risk factors of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients were significantly different from those of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients, resulting in the limitations of existing ...
AIMS: Hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) are a heterogeneous population, with multiple phenotypes proposed. Prior studies have not examined the biological phenotypes of critically ill patients with HF admitted to the contemporary cardiac i...
INTRODUCTION: Heart failure (HF) may induce bowel hypoperfusion, leading to hypoxia of the villa of the bowel wall and the occurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). However, the risk factors for the development of CDI in HF patients hav...
BACKGROUND: Adverse outcomes from moderate aortic stenosis (AS) may be caused by progression to severe AS or by the effects of comorbidities. In the absence of randomized trial evidence favoring aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with moderat...
INTRODUCTION: The characterization and selection of heart failure (HF) patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remain challenging, with around 30% non-responder rate despite following current guidelines. This study aims to propose a nove...
BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is essential in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including but not limited to heart failure (HF) and heart valve disease (HVD). However, its dependence on expert acquisition means that i...
