Abstract

Aims: An explainable advanced electrocardiography (A-ECG) Heart Age gap is the difference between A-ECG Heart Age and chronological age. This gap is an estimate of accelerated cardiovascular aging expressed in years of healthy human aging, and can intuitively communicate cardiovascular risk to the general population. However, existing A-ECG Heart Age requires sinus rhythm. We aim to develop and prognostically validate a revised, explainable A-ECG Heart Age applicable to both sinus and non-sinus rhythms.

Methods and results: An A-ECG Heart Age excluding P-wave measures was derived from the 10-s 12-lead ECG in a derivation cohort using multivariable regression machine learning with Bayesian 5-min 12-lead A-ECG Heart Age as reference. The Heart Age was externally validated in a separate cohort of patients referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging by describing its association with heart failure hospitalization or death using Cox regression, and its association with comorbidities. In the derivation cohort (n = 2771), A-ECG Heart Age agreed with the 5-min Heart Age (R 2 = 0.91, bias 0.0 ± 6.7 years), and increased with increasing comorbidity. In the validation cohort [n = 731, mean age 54 ± 15 years, 43% female, n = 139 events over 5.7 (4.8-6.7) years follow-up], increased A-ECG Heart Age gap (≥10 years) associated with events [hazard ratio, HR (95% confidence interval, CI) 2.04 (1.38-3.00), C-statistic 0.58 (0.54-0.62)], and the presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia, and heart failure (P ≤ 0.009 for all).

Conclusion: An explainable A-ECG Heart Age gap applicable to both sinus and non-sinus rhythm associates with cardiovascular risk, cardiovascular morbidity, and survival.
