Natural language processing of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator reports in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A paradigm for longitudinal device follow-up

The follow-up of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) generates large amounts of valuable structured and unstructured data embedded in device interrogation reports.We aimed to build a natural language processing (NLP) model for automated capture of ICD-recorded events from device interrogation reports using a single-center cohort of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).A total of 687 ICD interrogation reports from 247 HCM...
