Summary
This study introduces a dual-model framework combining electrocardiography (ECG) and biochemical markers to improve acute myocardial infarction (AMI) prediction, significantly reducing missed diagnoses, especially for NSTEMI patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Artificial Intelligence
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) prediction accuracy and interpretability remain challenges.
- Existing diagnostic tools, like ECG and biochemical markers, have limitations when used in isolation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a dual-model parallel framework integrating ECG signals and blood biochemical markers for enhanced AMI prediction.
- To improve the accuracy and interpretability of AMI diagnosis.
Main Methods:
- A convolutional neural network (CNN) was used for ECG feature extraction.
- A backpropagation (BP) network analyzed 13 biochemical markers.
- Models were trained and validated on diverse datasets, including PTB-XL, MIMIC-III, and a Chinese ECG dataset for regional calibration.
Main Results:
- The ECG model achieved an AUC of 0.933, identifying P-R interval and QRS duration as key predictors.
- The biochemical model achieved an AUC of 0.960.
- The integrated framework reached 96.6% accuracy, notably improving detection of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with subtle ECG changes.
Conclusions:
- The dual-model framework serves as an efficient automated screening tool for AMI.
- It effectively bridges ECG and biochemical diagnostics, emphasizing the value of ethnic-specific calibration.
- The framework extends automated AMI screening to challenging cases and populations missed by current methods.
