Abstract
Machine learning (ML) algorithms “learn” information directly from data, and their performance improves proportionally with the number of high-quality samples. The aim of our systematic review is to present the state of the art regarding the implementation of ML techniques in the management of heart failure (HF) patients. We manually searched MEDLINE and Cochrane databases as well the reference lists of the relevant review studies and included studies. Our search retrieved 122 relevant studies. These studies mainly refer to (a) the role of ML in the classification of HF patients into distinct categories which may require a different treatment strategy, (b) discrimination of HF patients from the healthy population or other diseases, (c) prediction of HF outcomes, (d) identification of HF patients from electronic records and identification of HF patients with similar characteristics who may benefit form a similar treatment strategy, (e) supporting the extraction of important data from clinical notes, and (f) prediction of outcomes in HF populations with implantable devices (left ventricular assist device, cardiac resynchronization therapy). We concluded that ML techniques may play an important role for the efficient construction of methodologies for diagnosis, management, and prediction of outcomes in HF patients.
