融合影像、临床与病历文本，提升心衰预后预测准确率

Objective. Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with millions of deaths each year, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other public health agencies. While significant progress has been made in the field of heart failure, leading to improved survival rates and improvement of ejection fraction, there remains substantial unmet needs, due to the complexity and multifactorial characteristics. This study aims to propose and evaluate a composable strategy framework for assessment and treatment optimization in heart failure, designed to provide more holistic patient evaluation and management. Approach. The framework leverages multi-modal algorithms to analyze a comprehensive range of patient data, explicitly integrating cine cardiac magnetic resonance (cine CMR) sequences, structured clinical metrics (e.g., lab results, demographics), and unstructured textual records (e.g., medical history, prescriptions). By integrating these various data sources, our framework offers a more holistic evaluation and optimized treatment plan for patients. Main results. The multi-modal framework demonstrates superior accuracy in HF prognosis prediction compared to single-modal AI algorithms. Additionally, it enables a detailed evaluation of the impact of various pathological indicators on HF outcomes. Significance. By integrating heterogeneous clinical data in a systematic manner, this approach supports more comprehensive prognosis assessment and facilitates optimized, personalized treatment planning for heart failure patients.
