Predicting mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement using AI-based fully automated left atrioventricular coupling index
Background
This study aimed to determine whether artificial intelligence (AI)–based automated assessment of left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) can provide incremental value above other traditional risk factors for predicting mortality among patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
Methods
This retrospective study evaluated patients with severe AS who underwent CCTA examination before TAVR between September 2014 and December 2020. An AI-prototype software fully automatically calculated left atrial and left ventricular end-diastolic volumes and LACI was defined by the ratio between them. Uni- and multivariate Cox proportional hazard methods were used to identify the predictors of mortality in models adjusting for relevant significant parameters and Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) score.
Results
A total of 656 patients (77 years [IQR, 71–84 years]; 387 [59.0 %] male) were included in the final cohort. The all-cause mortality rate was 21.6 % over a median follow-up time of 24 (10–40) months. When adjusting for clinical confounders, LACI ≥43.7 % independently predicted mortality (adjusted HR, 1.52, [95 % CI: 1.03, 2.22]; p = 0.032). After adjusting for the STS-PROM score in a separate model, LACI ≥43.7 % remained an independent prognostic parameter (adjusted HR, 1.47, [95 % CI: 1.03–2.08]; p = 0.031). In a sub-analysis of patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, LACI remained a significant predictor (adjusted HR, 1.72 [95 % CI: 1.02, 2.89]; p = 0.042).
Conclusions
AI-based fully automated assessment of LACI can be used independently to predict mortality in patients undergoing TAVR, including those with preserved LVEF.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography is a unique peer-review journal that integrates the entire international cardiovascular CT community including cardiologist and radiologists, from basic to clinical academic researchers, to private practitioners, engineers, allied professionals, industry, and trainees, all of whom are vital and interdependent members of our cardiovascular imaging community across the world. The goal of the journal is to advance the field of cardiovascular CT as the leading cardiovascular CT journal, attracting seminal work in the field with rapid and timely dissemination in electronic and print media.
