Summary
Machine learning models integrating 3D cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) substrate features significantly improve prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after myocardial infarction (MI). These interpretable tools offer personalized risk stratification for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Imaging
- Machine Learning in Medicine
- Cardiac MRI
Background:
- Accurate risk stratification after myocardial infarction (MI) is crucial but challenging.
- Integrating advanced imaging features can enhance predictive capabilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop interpretable machine learning (ML) models for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) post-MI.
- To assess the value of 3D cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) substrate features in risk stratification.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 292 MI patients undergoing CMR.
- Extraction of 3D CMR substrate features (core scar, border zone, abnormal corridors).
- Development and validation of ML models, including TabPFN, with SHAP analysis for interpretability.
Main Results:
- Nine key predictors identified: clinical, functional, and 3D CMR substrate features.
- ML model combining clinical and 3D features achieved high performance (AUC 0.89 external).
- 3D CMR features alone (AUC 0.90 external) outperformed clinical and functional models.
Conclusions:
- ML models incorporating 3D CMR substrate features significantly enhance post-MI MACE prediction.
- These models provide interpretable and personalized risk stratification tools.
- 3D CMR substrate analysis offers a valuable addition to traditional risk assessment methods.
