Electrocardiogram Detection of Pulmonary Hypertension Using Deep Learning.
Journal of cardiac failure
2023; 29 (7): 1017-1028
Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is life-threatening, and often diagnosed late in its course. We aimed to evaluate if a deep learning approach using electrocardiogram (ECG) data alone can detect PH and clinically important subtypes. We asked: does an automated deep learning approach to ECG interpretation detect PH and its clinically important subtypes?Adults with right heart catheterization or an echocardiogram within 90 days of an ECG at the University of California, San Francisco (2012-2019) were retrospectively identified as PH or non-PH. A deep convolutional neural network was trained on patients' 12-lead ECG voltage data. Patients were divided into training, development, and test sets in a ratio of 7:1:2. Overall, 5016 PH and 19,454 patients without PH were used in the study. The mean age at the time of ECG was 62.29 ± 17.58 years and 49.88% were female. The mean interval between ECG and right heart catheterization or echocardiogram was 3.66 and 2.23 days for patients with PH and patients without PH, respectively. In the test dataset, the model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and specificity, respectively of 0.89, 0.79, and 0.84 to detect PH; 0.91, 0.83, and 0.84 to detect precapillary PH; 0.88, 0.81, and 0.81 to detect pulmonary arterial hypertension, and 0.80, 0.73, and 0.76 to detect group 3 PH. We additionally applied the trained model on ECGs from participants in the test dataset that were obtained from up to 2 years before diagnosis of PH; the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.79 or greater.A deep learning ECG algorithm can detect PH and PH subtypes around the time of diagnosis and can detect PH using ECGs that were done up to 2 years before right heart catheterization/echocardiogram diagnosis. This approach has the potential to decrease diagnostic delays in PH.

Performance of the pooled cohort equation in South Asians: insights from a large integrated healthcare delivery system.
BMC cardiovascular disorders
2022; 22 (1): 566
Abstract
South Asian ethnicity is associated with increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk and has been identified as a "risk enhancer" in the 2018 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines. Risk estimation and statin eligibility in South Asians is not well understood; we studied the accuracy of 10-years ASCVD risk prediction by the pooled cohort equation (PCE), based on statin use, in a South Asian cohort. This is a retrospective cohort study of Kaiser Permanente Northern California South Asian members without existing ASCVD, age range 30-70, and 10-years follow up. ASCVD events were defined as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular death. The cohort was stratified by statin use during the study period: never; at baseline and during follow-up; and only during follow-up. Predicted probability of ASCVD, using the PCE was calculated and compared to observed ASCVD events for low<5.0%, borderline 5.0 to < 7.5%, intermediate 7.5 to < 20.0%, and high≥20.0% risk groups. A total of 1835 South Asian members were included: 773 never on statin, 374 on statins at baseline and follow-up, and 688 on statins during follow-up only. ASCVD risk was underestimated by the PCE in low-risk groups: entire cohort: 1.8 versus 4.9%, p<0.0001; on statin at baseline and follow-up: 2.58 versus 8.43%, p<0.0001; on statin during follow-up only: 2.18 versus 7.77%, p<0.0001; and never on statin: 1.37 versus 2.09%, p=0.12. In this South Asian cohort, the PCE underestimated risk in South Asians, regardless of statin use, in the low risk ASCVD risk category.

Torsade de pointes: A nested case-control study in an integrated healthcare delivery system.
Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc
2022; 27 (1): e12888
Abstract
TdP is a form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia which develops in the setting of a prolonged QT interval. There are limited data describing risk factors, treatment, and outcomes of this potentially fatal arrhythmia.Our goals were as follows: (1) to validate cases presenting with Torsade de Pointes (TdP), (2) to identify modifiable risk factors, and (3) to describe the management strategies used for TdP and its prognosis in a real-world healthcare setting.Case-control study (with 2:1 matching on age, sex, and race/ethnicity) nested within the Genetic Epidemiology Research on Aging (GERA) cohort. Follow-up of the cohort for case ascertainment was between January 01, 2005 and December 31, 2018.A total of 56 cases of TdP were confirmed (incidence rate = 3.6 per 100,000 persons/years). The average (SD) age of the TdP cases was 74 (13) years, 55 percent were female, and 16 percent were non-white. The independent predictors of TdP were potassium concentration <3.6 mEq/L (OR = 10.6), prior history of atrial fibrillation/flutter (OR = 6.2), QTc >480 ms (OR = 4.4) and prior history of coronary artery disease (OR = 2.6). Exposure to furosemide and amiodarone was significantly greater in cases than in controls. The most common treatment for TdP was IV magnesium (78.6%) and IV potassium repletion (73.2%). The in-hospital and 1-year mortality rates for TdP cases were 10.7% and 25.0% percent, respectively.These findings may inform quantitative multivariate risk indices for the prediction of TdP and could guide practitioners on which patients may qualify for continuous ECG monitoring and/or electrolyte replacement therapy.

P2Y12 Inhibitors in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Real-World, Community-Based Comparison of Ischemic and Bleeding Outcomes.
Journal of interventional cardiology
2023; 2023: 1147352
Abstract
Randomized trials have shown superiority of the novel P2Y12 inhibitors over clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but clinical benefit in the community remains controversial. Our objective was to compare the safety and efficacy of clopidogrel to ticagrelor and prasugrel in patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a real-world population.We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with ACS who underwent PCI and were discharged with clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel from 2012 to 2018 within Kaiser Permanente Northern California. We used Cox proportional hazard models with propensity-score matching to evaluate the association of the P2Y12 agent with the primary outcomes of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and bleeding events.The study included 15,476 patients (93.1% on clopidogrel, 3.6% on ticagrelor and 3.2% on prasugrel). Compared to the clopidogrel group, ticagrelorand prasugrel patients were younger with less comorbidities. In multivariable models with propensity-score matching, we found a lower risk of all-cause mortality in the ticagrelor vs the clopidogrel group (HR (95% CI) 0.43 (0.20-0.92)), but no differences in the other endpoints, and no difference between prasugrel and clopidogrel among any endpoints. A larger proportion of patients on ticagrelor or prasugrel switched to an alternative P2Y12 agent vs. clopidogrel (p < 0.01), and a higher level of persistence was seen among patients on clopidogrel vs. ticagrelor (p = 0.03) or prasugrel (p < 0.01).Among patients with ACS who underwent PCI, we observed a lower risk of all-cause mortality in patients treated with ticagrelor vs clopidogrel, but no difference in other clinical endpoints nor any differences in endpoints between prasugrel vs. clopidogrel users. These results suggest that further study is needed to identify an optimal P2Y12 inhibitor in a real-world population.

Intraprocedural direct left atrial and wedge pressure correlation during transcatheter mitral valve repair: Results from a single center registry
CATHETERIZATION AND CARDIOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS
2019; 94 (1): 165-170
Abstract
This study investigates the correlation of occlusive wedge pressure (WP) with direct left atrial (LA) pressure in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) with MitraClip.There is interest in acquiring objective hemodynamic parameters for intraprocedural guidance in patients undergoing MitraClip.The study included 94 patients with severe MR at prohibitive surgical risk who underwent MitraClip at the University of California Davis Medical Center between 2014 and 2016.An average of 1.8 ± 0.7 clips were used to achieve MR grade of 2+ or less in 99% of patients. Correlation analysis of all (n = 236) pre-clip, inter-clip, and final-clip WP and LA pressures yielded a Pearson's R (r) of 0.85 and 0.79 for mean WP vs mean LA and WP V vs LA V, respectively. Median LA V to mean LA ratio (LAV:mLA) was 1.75 (IQR 1.5-1.9). 79% (n = 74) of patients had LAV:mLA ratio ≥ 1.5 with associated WP V vs LA V correlation (r) of 0.83. In patients with LAV:mLA ratio < 1.5, the correlation (r) was 0.69. Baseline characteristics were not significantly different between patients with LAV:mLA ratio ≥ 1.5 and patients with LAV:mLA ratio < 1.5. Post-procedure, median LA V: mean LA ratio decreased from 1.75 to 1.4, P = 0.0001.Correlation between WP and direct LA pressure in patients with severe MR undergoing Mitraclip is modest. Caution is advised when using WP to approximate LA pressure intraprocedurally, especially in patients with baseline low LAV:mLA ratios.
