Requires prospective validation before clinical use; leaves open generalizability of SVM with nonstandard HRV for CHF detection.
Does a combination of SVM and nonstandard HRV measures accurately detect congestive heart failure?
A novel machine learning approach using SVM and nonstandard HRV measures achieved 100% accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in detecting congestive heart failure in this dataset.
Liu et al. (2014) studied this question.
