Abstract
Objective: The potential of optical pumped magnetometer magnetocardiography (OPM-MCG) for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) has been initially shown, yet lacks large-scale prospective research.
Approach: Using invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as a reference, we constructed three feature sets for the development of machine learning (ML) models: a "Heart" feature set consisting only of OPM-MCG features, a "Clinical" feature set, and a "Heart+Clinical" combined feature set. We assessed the performance of 11 ML models with 10-fold cross-validation and conducted a feature importance analysis.
Main result: Among 1513 participants (mean age 58.2 ± 12.0 years, 75.5% male), 1194 (78.92%) tested positive for ICA. Significant differences were observed in "Heart" and "Clinical" features between ICA-positive and negative groups. ML models using only "Heart" features (AUC 0.84 - 0.88) outperformed those using only "Clinical" features (AUC 0.62 - 0.75). Combining both feature types improved diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.75 - 0.90). Feature importance analysis highlighted that "Significant changes in Ar-PN" in OPM-MCG were key for ICA diagnosis (47.8%), along with "Abnormal Sp-TT", "Significant changes in Ps-PN", and "Abnormal Mg-TT".
Significance: OPM-MCG has high performance in diagnosing CAD, and the significant change in Ar-PN is the most important feature. Cat Boost and Random Forest are more suitable for OPM-MCG to build ML diagnostic models for CAD.
