AIMS: Approximately 50% of patients with heart failure have preserved (≥50%) ejection fraction (HFpEF). Improved understanding of the phenotypic heterogeneity of HFpEF might facilitate development of targeted therapies and interventions.

Background We developed a new left ventricular hypertrophy ( LVH ) criterion using a machine-learning technique called Bayesian Additive Regression Trees ( BART ). Methods and Results This analysis included 4714 participants from MESA (Multi-Ethnic S...
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to build a patient-patient similarity network using multiple features of left ventricular (LV) structure and function in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). The study further validated the observations in an experimental...
BACKGROUND: Automated cardiac image interpretation has the potential to transform clinical practice in multiple ways, including enabling serial assessment of cardiac function by nonexperts in primary care and rural settings. We hypothesized that adva...

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...

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...
BACKGROUND: Associating a patient's profile with the memories of prototypical patients built through previous repeat clinical experience is a key process in clinical judgment. We hypothesized that a similar process using a cognitive computing tool wo...

OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to demonstrate ventricular function changes in patients with congenital hypothyroidism and to investigate whether there is an association between any such changes and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels usi...
