Identifying Mitral Valve Prolapse at Risk for Arrhythmias and Fibrosis From Electrocardiograms Using Deep Learning.
JACC. Advances(2023)
Abstract
BACKGROUND:Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvulopathy, with a subset developing sudden cardiac death or cardiac arrest. Complex ventricular ectopy (ComVE) is a marker of arrhythmic risk associated with myocardial fibrosis and increased mortality in MVP.
OBJECTIVES:The authors sought to evaluate whether electrocardiogram (ECG)-based machine learning can identify MVP at risk for ComVE, death and/or myocardial fibrosis on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
METHODS:A deep convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained to detect ComVE using 6,916 12-lead ECGs from 569 MVP patients from the University of California-San Francisco between 2012 and 2020. A separate CNN was trained to detect late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) using 1,369 ECGs from 87 MVP patients with contrast CMR.
RESULTS:The prevalence of ComVE was 28% (160/569). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the CNN to detect ComVE was 0.80 (95% CI: 0.77-0.83) and remained high after excluding patients with moderate-severe mitral regurgitation [0.80 (95% CI: 0.77-0.83)] or bileaflet MVP [0.81 (95% CI: 0.76-0.85)]. AUC to detect all-cause mortality was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.77-0.87). ECG segments relevant to ComVE prediction were related to ventricular depolarization/repolarization (early-mid ST-segment and QRS from V1, V3, and III). LGE in the papillary muscles or basal inferolateral wall was present in 24% patients with available CMR; AUC for detection of LGE was 0.75 (95% CI: 0.68-0.82).
CONCLUSIONS:CNN-analyzed 12-lead ECGs can detect MVP at risk for ventricular arrhythmias, death and/or fibrosis and can identify novel ECG correlates of arrhythmic risk. ECG-based CNNs may help select those MVP patients requiring closer follow-up and/or a CMR.
