Artificial Intelligence in Diagnosis of Heart Failure

Heart failure (HF) is a complex and varied condition that affects over 50 million people worldwide. Although there have been significant strides in understanding the underlying mechanisms of HF, several challenges persist, particularly in the accurate diagnosis of HF. These challenges include issues related to its classification, the identification of specific phenotypes, and the assessment of disease severity. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have the potential to transform HF care by enhancing clinical decision-making processes, enabling the early detection of patients at risk for subclinical or worsening HF. By integrating and analyzing vast amounts of data with intricate multidimensional interactions, AI algorithms can provide critical insights that help physicians make more timely and informed decisions. In this review, we explore the challenges in current diagnosis of HF, basic AI concepts and common AI algorithms, and latest AI research in HF diagnosis.
