Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the industrialized world. Although research into the etiology and treatment of cardiac disease remains a focus of numerous research groups, the accurate identification of patients who are at risk of adverse events following a heart attack remains a major challenge in clinical cardiology. In this talk I will describe how sophisticated computational biomarkers, which integrate a diverse array of clinical information, can be used to identify patients who are at elevated risk of death after a cardiac event. This work demonstrates that computational biomarkers can provide useful and powerful insights that can help guide clinical decision making.
