However, the joint analysis of static and dynamic features to achieve accurate and interpretable MI detection has not been comprehensively addressed.<i>Approach.</i>This paper proposes a simplified ensemble tree method with a joint analysis of static and dynamic features to solve this issue for MI detection. Initially, the dynamic features are extracted by modeling the intrinsic dynamics of ECG via dynamic learning in addition to extracting classical static features. Secondly, a two-stage feature selection strategy is designed to identify a few significant features, which substitute the original variables that are employed in constructing the ensemble tree. This approach enhances the discriminative ability by selecting significant static and dynamic features. Subsequently, this paper presents an interpretable classification method named StackTree by introducing a stacked ensemble scheme to modify the ensemble tree simplification algorithm. The representative rules of the raw ensemble trees are selected as the intermediate training data that is used to retrain a decision tree with performance close to that of the source ensemble model. Using this scheme, the significant precision and interpretability of MI detection are thus comprehensively addressed.<i>Main results.</i>The effectiveness of our method in detecting MI is evaluated using the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and clinical database. The findings suggest that our algorithm outperforms the traditional methods based on a single type of feature. Additionally, it is comparable to the conventional random forest, achieving 97.1% accuracy under the inter-patient framework on the PTB database. Furthermore, feature subsets trained on PTB are validated using the clinical database, resulting in an accuracy of 84.5%. The chosen important features demonstrate that both static and dynamic information have crucial roles in MI detection. Crucially, the proposed method provides clear internal workings in an easy-to-understand visual manner.</p>","PeriodicalId":20047,"journal":{"name":"Physiological measurement","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141724158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new approach called cardiac triangle mapping (CTM) has been recently proposed, which can provide a non-invasive estimate of LVEDP. We hypothesized that a hybrid machine-learning (ML) method based on CTM can instantaneously identify an elevated LVEDP using simultaneously measured femoral pressure waveform and electrocardiogram (ECG).<i>Approach.</i>We studied 46 patients (Age: 39-90 (66.4 ± 9.9), BMI: 20.2-36.8 (27.6 ± 4.1), 12 females) scheduled for clinical left heart catheterizations or coronary angiograms at University of Southern California Keck Medical Center. Exclusion criteria included severe mitral/aortic valve disease; severe carotid stenosis; aortic abnormalities; ventricular paced rhythm; left bundle branch and anterior fascicular blocks; interventricular conduction delay; and atrial fibrillation. Invasive LVEDP and pressure waveforms at the iliac bifurcation were measured using transducer-tipped Millar catheters with simultaneous ECG. LVEDP range was 9.3-40.5 mmHg. LVEDP = 18 mmHg was used as cutoff. Random forest (RF) classifiers were trained using data from 36 patients and blindly tested on 10 patients.<i>Main results.</i>Our proposed ML classifier models accurately predict true LVEDP classes using appropriate physics-based features, where the most accurate demonstrates 100.0% (elevated) and 80.0% (normal) success in predicting true LVEDP classes on blind data.<i>Significance.</i>We demonstrated that physics-based ML models can instantaneously classify LVEDP using information from femoral waveforms and ECGs.
