AI-based algorithm could predict outcomes after cardiac surgery

A novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that identifies a cardiac dysfunction from a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can also predict long-term patient survival after cardiac surgery, according to new research from Mayo Clinic (Rochester, USA).

The study, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, finds that an algorithm that previously has shown it can detect patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) may also predict long-term mortality after cardiac surgery, making it a potentially valuable tool for assessing risk as patients and their health care providers consider surgery.

“Our study finds there is a clear correlation between long-term mortality and a positive AI ECG screen for reduced ejection fraction among patients without apparent severe cardiomyopathy,” said Mohamad Alkhouli, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist and the study’s senior author. “This correlation was consistent among patients undergoing valve, coronary bypass, or valve and coronary bypass surgery.”

The retrospective study involved reviews of 20,627 patients at Mayo Clinic in Rochester from 1993 to 2019. The patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve surgery or both, and they had a left ventricular ejection fraction of more than 35%. Of these patients, 17,125 had a normal AI EKG screen and 3,502 had an abnormal screen. Patients with an abnormal screen tended to be older with more comorbidities.

The algorithm was applied to the most recent ECG the patients had within 30 days before surgery. Baseline characteristics, as well as in-hospital, 30-day and long-term mortality data, were extracted from the Mayo Clinic cardiac surgery database.

Probability of survival at five years was 86.2% for patients with a normal screen versus 71.4% for those with an abnormal screen. The 10-year probability of survival was 68.2% and 45.1%, respectively, for the two groups.

“Our study documented the algorithm’s prognostic value in predicting long-term, all-cause mortality after cardiac surgery,” said Alkhouli. “The analysis showed that an abnormal AI  screen was associated with a 30% increase in long-term mortality after valve or coronary bypass surgery. For clinicians, this may aid in risk stratification of patients referred for surgery and facilitate shared decision-making.”

The study is believed to be the first large-scale research to explore the usefulness of AI algorithms with a single ECG to better predict cardiac surgery outcomes. Because the algorithm uses a routine and relatively inexpensive test, it could be applied widely after validation.

Additional studies are underway to determine whether the information provided by the algorithms can improve diagnosis, decision-making and clinical outcomes.
