ABSTRACT: Objective
A method to estimate absolute left ventricular (LV) pressure and its maximum rate of rise (LV dP/dtmax) from epicardial accelerometer data and machine learning is proposed.Methods
Five acute experiments were performed on pigs. Custom-made accelerometers were sutured epicardially onto the right ventricle, LV, and right atrium. Different pacing configurations and contractility modulations, using isoflurane and dobutamine infusions, were performed to create a wide variety of hemodynamic conditions. Automated beat-by-beat analysis was performed on the acceleration signals to evaluate amplitude, time, and energy-based features. For each sensing location, bootstrap aggregated classification tree ensembles were trained to estimate absolute maximum LV pressure (LVPmax) and LV dP/dtmax using amplitude, time, and energy-based features. After extraction of acceleration and pressure-based features, location specific, bootstrap aggregated classification ensembles were trained to estimate absolute values of LVPmax and its maximum rate of rise (LV dP/dtmax) from acceleration data.Results
With a dataset of over 6,000 beats, the algorithm narrowed the selection of 17 predefined features to the most suitable 3 for each sensor location. Validation tests showed the minimal estimation accuracies to be 93% and 86% for LVPmax at estimation intervals of 20 and 10 mmHg, respectively. Models estimating LV dP/dtmax achieved an accuracy of minimal 93 and 87% at estimation intervals of 100 and 200 mmHg/s, respectively. Accuracies were similar for all sensor locations used.Conclusion
Under pre-clinical conditions, the developed estimation method, employing epicardial accelerometers in conjunction with machine learning, can reliably estimate absolute LV pressure and its first derivative.
