Predicting Heart Failure

This chapter has briefly discussed the various conventional clinical methods for heart disease prediction and has presented several physiological attributes considered by the physician for diagnosing heart disease. The clinical significance of psychological attributes has also been discussed and we provided a brief history of the devices utilized by cardiologists, physicians, and radiologists for heart examination. The chapter ended by providing a brief discussion on how AI can assist physicians as well as a radiologists in cardiovascular examination.
