Deep learning-based coronary artery calcium score to predict coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients often presents diffuse lesions, with extensive calcification, and it is time-consuming to measure coronary artery calcium score (CACS).

Objectives

To explore the predictive ability of deep learning (DL)-based CACS for obstructive CAD and hemodynamically significant CAD in T2DM.

Methods

469 T2DM patients suspected of CAD who accepted CACS scan and coronary CT angiography between January 2013 and December 2020 were enrolled. Obstructive CAD was defined as diameter stenosis ≥50%. Hemodynamically significant CAD was defined as CT-derived fractional flow reserve ≤0.8. CACS was calculated with a fully automated method based on DL algorithm. Logistic regression was applied to determine the independent predictors. The predictive performance was evaluated with area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results

DL-CACS (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.005; 95% CI: 1.003-1.006; P ＜ 0.001) was significantly associated with obstructive CAD. DL-CACS (adjusted OR:1.003; 95% CI: 1.002-1.004; P ＜ 0.001) was also an independent predictor for hemodynamically significant CAD. The AUCs, sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive values and negative predictive values of DL-CACS for obstructive CAD and hemodynamically significant CAD were 0.753 (95% CI: 0.712-0.792), 75.9%, 66.5%, 74.8%, 67.8% and 0.769 (95% CI: 0.728-0.806), 80.7%, 62.1%, 59.6% and 82.3% respectively. It took 1.17 min to perform automated measurement of DL-CACS in total, which was significantly less than manual measurement of 1.73 min (P ＜ 0.001).

Conclusions

DL-CACS, with less time-consuming, can accurately and effectively predict obstructive CAD and hemodynamically significant CAD in T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery calcification (CAC), often assessed by computed tomography (CT), is a powerful marker of coronary artery disease that can guide preventive therapies. Computed tomographies, however, are not always accessible or serially obtainable. It remains unclear whether other widespread tests such as transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs) can be used to predict CAC.MethodsUsing a data set of 2,881 TTE videos paired with coronary calcium CTs, we trained a video-based artificial intelligence convolutional neural network to predict CAC scores from parasternal long-axis views. We evaluated the model's ability to classify patients from a held-out sample as well as an external site sample into zero CAC and high CAC (CAC ≥ 400 Agatston units) groups by receiver operating characteristic and precision-recall curves. We also investigated whether such classifications prognosticated significant differences in 1-year mortality rates by the log-rank test of Kaplan-Meier curves.ResultsTransthoracic echocardiogram artificial intelligence models had high discriminatory abilities in predicting zero CAC (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve [AUC] = 0.81 [95% CI, 0.74-0.88], F1 score = 0.95) and high CAC (AUC = 0.74 [0.68-0.8], F1 score = 0.74). This performance was confirmed in an external test data set of 92 TTEs (AUC = 0.75 [0.65-0.85], F1 score = 0.77; and AUC = 0.85 [0.76-0.93], F1 score = 0.59, respectively). Risk stratification by TTE-predicted CAC performed similarly to CT CAC scores in prognosticating significant differences in 1-year survival in high-CAC patients (CT CAC ≥ 400 vs CT CAC < 400, P = .03; TTE-predicted CAC ≥ 400 vs TTE-predicted CAC < 400, P = .02).ConclusionsA video-based deep learning model successfully used TTE videos to predict zero CAC and high CAC with high accuracy. Transthoracic echocardiography-predicted CAC prognosticated differences in 1-year survival similar to CT CAC. Deep learning of TTEs holds promise for future adjunctive coronary artery disease risk stratification to guide preventive therapies.

Project description:Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is a reliable predictor for future cardiovascular disease risk. Although deep learning studies using computed tomography (CT) images to predict CACS have been reported, no study has assessed the feasibility of machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the CACS using clinical variables in a healthy general population. Therefore, we aimed to assess whether ML algorithms other than binary logistic regression (BLR) could predict high CACS in a healthy population with general health examination data. This retrospective observational study included participants who had regular health screening including coronary CT angiography. High CACS was defined by the Agatston score ≥ 100. Univariable and multivariable BLR was performed to assess predictors for high CACS in the entire dataset. When performing ML prediction for high CACS, the dataset was randomly divided into a training and test dataset with a 7:3 ratio. BLR, catboost, and xgboost algorithms with 5-fold cross-validation and grid search technique were used to find the best performing classifier. Performance comparison of each ML algorithm was evaluated with the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve. A total of 2133 participants were included in the final analysis. Mean age and proportion of male sex were 55.4 ± 11.3 years and 1483 (69.5%), respectively. In multivariable BLR analysis, age (odds ratio [OR], 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-1.15, p < 0.001), male sex (OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 1.57-5.38, p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00-1.03, p = 0.019), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.99-1.00, p = 0.047) were significant predictors for high CACS. Performance in predicting high CACS of xgboost was AUROC of 0.823, followed by catboost (0.750) and BLR (0.585). The comparison of AUROC between xgboost and BLR was significant (p for AUROC comparison < 0.001). Xgboost ML algorithm was found to be a more reliable predictor of CACS in healthy participants compared to the BLR algorithm. ML algorithms may be useful for predicting CACS with only laboratory data in healthy participants.
