LLMs for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction from Structured Clinical Data

arXiv:2606.00031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of death globally, highlighting the need for reliable predictive systems to support early diagnosis and risk assessment. While traditional machine learning models perform well on structured clinical data, large language models (LLMs) present new possibilities to interpret medical information expressed in natural language. In this work, we develop a hybrid framework that bridges structured clinical data and natural-language representations for CAD prediction. Using a publicly availabl

Why this matters
Why now

The increased computational power and architectural advancements in LLMs, alongside growing availability of structured clinical data, enable novel applications in complex medical prediction tasks.

Why it’s important
