Abstract Several machine learning (ML) algorithms have been increasingly utilized for cardiovascular disease prediction. We aim to assess and summarize the overall predictive ability of ML algorithms in cardiovascular diseases. A comprehensive search strategy was designed and executed within the MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases from database inception through March 15, 2019. The primary outcome was a composite of the predictive ability of ML algorithms of coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, and cardiac arrhythmias. Of 344 total studies identified, 103 cohorts, with a total of 3,377,318 individuals, met our inclusion criteria. For the prediction of coronary artery disease, boosting algorithms had a pooled area under the curve (AUC) of 0.88 (95% CI 0.84–0.91), and custom-built algorithms had a pooled AUC of 0.93 (95% CI 0.85–0.97). For the prediction of stroke, support vector machine (SVM) algorithms had a pooled AUC of 0.92 (95% CI 0.81–0.97), boosting algorithms had a pooled AUC of 0.91 (95% CI 0.81–0.96), and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms had a pooled AUC of 0.90 (95% CI 0.83–0.95). Although inadequate studies for each algorithm for meta-analytic methodology for both heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias because the confidence intervals overlap between different methods, showing no difference, SVM may outperform other algorithms in these areas. The predictive ability of ML algorithms in cardiovascular diseases is promising, particularly SVM and boosting algorithms. However, there is heterogeneity among ML algorithms in terms of multiple parameters. This information may assist clinicians in how to interpret data and implement optimal algorithms for their dataset.

Background: Early accurate detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most important medical research areas. Researchers are motivated to utilize machine learning techniques for quick and accurate detection of CAD. Methods: To obtain the high quality of features used for machine learning, we here extracted the coronary bifurcation features from the coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images by using the morphometric method. The machine learning classifier algorithms, such as logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), artificial neural network (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM) were applied for estimating the performance by using the measured features. Results: The results showed that in comparison with other machine learning methods, the polynomial-SVM with the use of the grid search optimization method had the best performance for the detection of CAD and had yielded the classification accuracy of 100.00%. Among six examined coronary bifurcation features, the exponent of vessel diameter (n) and the area expansion ratio (AER) were two key features in the detection of CAD. Conclusions: This study could aid the clinicians to detect CAD accurately, which may probably provide an alternative method for the non-invasive diagnosis in clinical.

Machine learning (ML) are the central tool of artificial intelligence, the use of which makes it possible to automate the processing and analysis of large data, reveal hidden or non-obvious patterns and learn a new knowledge. The review presents an analysis of literature on the use of ML for diagnosing and predicting the clinical course of coronary artery disease. We provided information on reference databases, the use of which allows to develop models and validate them (European ST-T Database, Cleveland Heart Disease database, Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, etc.). The advantages and disadvantages of individual ML methods (logistic regression, support vector machines, decision trees, naive Bayesian classifier, k-nearest neighbors) for the development of diagnostic and predictive algorithms are shown. The most promising ML methods include deep learning, which is implemented using multilayer artificial neural networks. It is assumed that the improvement of ML-based models and their introduction into clinical practice will help support medical decision-making, increase the effectiveness of treatment and optimize health care costs.

Heart disease is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged citizens. Among the vast number of heart diseases, coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered a common cardiovascular disease with a high death rate. The most popular tool for diagnosing CAD is the use of medical imaging, e.g., angiography. However, angiography is known for being costly and also associated with a number of side effects. Hence, the purpose of this study is to increase the accuracy of coronary heart disease diagnosis by selecting significant predictive features in order of their ranking. In this study, we propose an integrated method using machine learning. The machine learning methods of random trees (RTs), the decision tree of C5.0, support vector machine (SVM), the decision tree of Chi-squared automatic interaction detection (CHAID) are used in this study. The proposed method shows promising results and the study confirms that the RTs model outperforms other models.

Obesity is an established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as hypertension (HD), coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), arrhythmias and venous thromboembolism. Lifestyle modifications to reduce weight have been shown to be successful in the short term, however their long-term results are still equivocal likely due to modest weight reduction and high recurrence rates. Bariatric surgery has been recognized as the most effective strategy in achieving substantial sustained weight loss, and can prevent the development or reverse CVD, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, cancer, and COVID-associated complications. Bariatric surgery results in rapid weight loss over several months that lasts for at least 12-18 months. The surgery lowers all-cause mortality risks, risks of myocardial infarction and stroke. Furthermore, bariatric surgery contributes to the reduction of urgent hospitalizations for heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. The article shows modern view on the impact of bariatric surgery on the pathogenesis of the CVD in patients with obesity, indications and contraindications of the surgery, tactics of management of patients with existing cardiovascular pathology before the bariatric surgery.

Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been applied to predicting coronary artery disease (CAD). Our purpose was to utilize autoantibody isotypes against four different unmodified and malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified peptides among Taiwanese with CAD and healthy controls (HCs) for CAD prediction. In this study, levels of MDA, MDA-modified protein (MDA-protein) adducts, and autoantibody isotypes against unmodified peptides and MDA-modified peptides were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). To improve the performance of ML, we used decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM) coupled with five-fold cross validation and parameters optimization. Levels of plasma MDA and MDA-protein adducts were higher in CAD patients than in HCs. IgM anti-IGKC76–99 MDA and IgM anti-A1AT284–298 MDA decreased the most in patients with CAD compared to HCs. In the experimental results of CAD prediction, the decision tree classifier achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.81; the random forest classifier achieved an AUC of 0.94; the support vector machine achieved an AUC of 0.65 for differentiating between CAD patients with stenosis rates of 70% and HCs. In this study, we demonstrated that autoantibody isotypes imported into machine learning algorithms can lead to accurate models for clinical use.

AbstractThe natriuretic peptide family comprises atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP), and urodilatin. The activities of natriuretic peptides and endothelins are strictly associated with each other. ANP and BNP inhibit endothelin-1 (ET-1) production. ET-1 stimulates natriuretic peptide synthesis. All natriuretic peptides are synthesized from polypeptide precursors. Changes in natriuretic peptides and endothelin release were observed in many cardiovascular diseases: e.g. chronic heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction and coronary artery disease.

Objectives. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden worldwide, causing 1 in 7 deaths in the United States alone. Risk prediction models that can learn the complex causal relationships that give rise to CAD from data, instead of merely predicting the risk of disease, have the potential to improve transparency and efficacy of personalized CAD diagnosis and therapy selection for physicians, patients, and other decision makers. Methods. We use Bayesian networks (BNs) to model the risk of CAD using the Z-Alizadehsani data set—a published real-world observational data set of 303 Iranian patients at risk for CAD. We also describe how BNs can be used for incorporation of background knowledge, individual risk prediction, handling missing observations, and adaptive decision making under uncertainty. Results. BNs performed on par with machine-learning classifiers at predicting CAD and showed better probability calibration. They achieved a mean 10-fold area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.93 ± 0.04, which was comparable with the performance of logistic regression with L1 or L2 regularization (AUC: 0.92 ± 0.06), support vector machine (AUC: 0.92 ± 0.06), and artificial neural network (AUC: 0.91 ± 0.05). We describe the use of BNs to predict with missing data and to adaptively calculate prognostic values of individual variables under uncertainty. Conclusion. BNs are powerful and versatile tools for risk prediction and health outcomes research that can complement traditional statistical techniques and are particularly useful in domains in which information is uncertain or incomplete and in which interpretability is important, such as medicine.
