A new study from investigators at Mass General Brigham shows that clues about hypertension may be buried in electronic health records.

Using natural language processing, a form of artificial intelligence, researchers identified patients who had a heart ultrasound indicating thickening of the heart muscle, a condition frequently caused by hypertension.

The results are published in JAMA Cardiology and presented at the 2025 American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session & Expo.

Jason H. Wasfy and Adam N. Berman are the authors of the study.

The study intervention was funded by the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization in support of cardiovascular care delivery innovation.
