Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines to perform intelligent
tasks, and machine learning (ML) is a subset of AI describing the ability of machines
to learn independently and make accurate predictions. The application of AI combined
with “big data” from the electronic health records, is poised to impact how we take
care of patients. In recent years, an expanding body of literature has been published
using ML in cardiovascular health care, including mechanical circulatory support (MCS).
This primer article provides an overview for clinicians on relevant concepts of ML
and AI, reviews predictive modeling concepts in ML and provides contextual reference
to how AI is being adapted in the field of MCS. Lastly, it explains how these methods
could be incorporated in the practices of medicine to improve patient outcomes.
