    Importance of Systematic Right Ventricular Assessment in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Candidates: A Machine Learning Approach
    (2021) Galli, Elena; Le Rolle, Virginie; Smiseth, Otto A.; Duchenne, Jurgen; Aalen, John M.; Larsen, Camilla K.; Sade, Elif A.; Hubert, Arnaud; Anilkumar, Smitha; Penicka, Martin; Linde, Cecilia; Leclercq, Christophe; Hernandez, Alfredo; Voigt, Jens-Uwe; Donal, Erwan; 33422667
    Background: Despite all having systolic heart failure and broad QRS intervals, patients screened for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are highly heterogeneous, and it remains extremely challenging to predict the impact of CRT devices on left ventricular function and outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative impact of clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data on the left ventricular remodeling and prognosis of CRT candidates by the application of machine learning approaches. Methods: One hundred ninety-three patients with systolic heart failure receiving CRT according to current recommendations were prospectively included in this multicenter study. A combination of the Boruta algorithm and random forest methods was used to identify features predicting both CRT volumetric response and prognosis. Model performance was tested using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The k-medoid method was also applied to identify clusters of phenotypically similar patients. Results: From 28 clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic variables, 16 features were predictive of CRT response, and 11 features were predictive of prognosis. Among the predictors of CRT response, eight variables (50%) pertained to right ventricular size or function. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was the main feature associated with prognosis. The selected features were associated with particularly good prediction of both CRT response (area under the curve, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.74-0.87) and outcomes (area under the curve, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.75-0.93). An unsupervised machine learning approach allowed the identification of two phenogroups of patients who differed significantly in clinical variables and parameters of biventricular size and right ventricular function. The two phenogroups had significantly different prognosis (hazard ratio, 4.70; 95% CI, 2.1-10.0; P < .0001; log-rank P < .0001). Conclusions: Machine learning can reliably identify clinical and echocardiographic features associated with CRT response and prognosis. The evaluation of both right ventricular size and functional parameters has pivotal importance for the risk stratification of CRT candidates and should be systematically performed in patients undergoing CRT.

    Characterization of Responder Profiles for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy through Unsupervised Clustering of Clinical and Strain Data
    (2021) Gallard, Alban; Bidaut, Auriane; Hubert, Arnaud; Sade, Elif; Marechaux, Sylvestre; Sitges, Martha; Separovic-Hanzevacki, Jadranka; Le Rolle, Virginie; Galli, Elena; Hernandez, Alfredo; 33524492
    Background: The mechanisms of improvement of left ventricular (LV) function with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are not yet elucidated. The aim of this study was to characterize CRT responder profiles through clustering analysis, on the basis of clinical and echocardiographic preimplantation data, integrating automatic quantification of longitudinal strain signals. Methods: This was a multicenter observational study of 250 patients with chronic heart failure evaluated before CRT device implantation and followed up to 4 years. Clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data were collected. Regional longitudinal strain signals were also analyzed with custom-made algorithms in addition to existing approaches, including myocardial work indices. Response was defined as a decrease of $15% in LV end-systolic volume. Death and hospitalization for heart failure at 4 years were considered adverse events. Seventy features were analyzed using a clustering approach (k-means clustering). Results: Five clusters were identified, with response rates between 50% in cluster 1 and 92.7% in cluster 5. These five clusters differed mainly by the characteristics of LV mechanics, evaluated using strain integrals. There was a significant difference in event-free survival at 4 years between cluster 1 and the other clusters. The quantitative analysis of strain curves, especially in the lateral wall, was more discriminative than apical rocking, septal flash, or myocardial work in most phenogroups. Conclusions: Five clusters are described, defining groups of below-average to excellent responders to CRT. These clusters demonstrate the complexity of LV mechanics and prediction of response to CRT. Automatic quantitative analysis of longitudinal strain curves appears to be a promising tool to improve the understanding of LV mechanics, patient characterization, and selection for CRT.
