Background
Current approaches to predict cardiovascular risk fail to identify many people who would benefit from preventive treatment, while others receive unnecessary intervention. Machine-learning offers opportunity to improve accuracy by exploiti... Read More about Can machine-learning improve cardiovascular risk prediction using routine clinical data.
