Abstract:
Background/Objectives: Heart failure (HF) remains a major cause of global mortality and morbidity; it is, therefore, of paramount importance that diagnosis and prognostication are made timely in order to better improve outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditure. This research presents a novel predictive model of heart failure that combines clinical criteria with demographic factors in order to maximize predictive performance and act as a reliable tool for individualized healthcare intervention. Methods: Complex machine learning techniques, including decision trees, random forest, and deep learning, are applied in analyzing a large dataset of subjects with heart failure. We collected a diverse dataset comprising clinical indicators such as echocardiographic data, biomarkers, electrocardiogram (ECG) features, and demographic information. Data preprocessing techniques, such as feature normalization and handling of missing values, were applied to ensure the integrity and reliability of the dataset. Results: The results indicate that integrating both clinical indicators and demographic characteristics significantly improves the predictive power of the model, compared to models based on clinical indicators alone. Specifically, the hybrid model demonstrated a superior ability to predict short- and long-term outcomes in heart failure patients, offering enhanced accuracy in risk stratification and prognosis prediction. Conclusions: This research highlights the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in revolutionizing heart failure care by providing healthcare professionals with more accurate, data-driven decision support tools. The proposed model not only holds promise for clinical applications but also offers insights for future research into personalized medicine.
