Introduction
Background
It has been more than two decades since the launch of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk stratification scores, which commonly aim to estimate the 10-year risk of developing CAD and other related health outcomes, such as major adverse cardiovascular events, heart failure and mortality (1). The concept of risk factors in CAD was first coined by the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), which published its findings in 1957, and demonstrated the epidemiologic relations of smoking, raised blood pressure and cholesterol levels to the incidence of CAD. The findings were truly revolutionary for it helped bring about a change in the way medicine is practiced (2). There are several important and potentially modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as hypertension (HTN), dyslipidaemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, smoking, chronic kidney disease (CKD), anxiety and depression, social isolation, low physical activity and poor diet. Non-modifiable risk factors also exist in fewer numbers, such as ethnicity and family history of CVD (3).
Conventionally, these risk factors are used as inputs in different risk scoring algorithms to produce a quantifiable output, used by clinicians to predict long-term risk, clinical outcome and prognosis. Recent literature has shown strong predictive power of non-invasive imaging modalities of CAD, adding important prognostic value in predicting outcomes in patients with known or suspected CAD. Broadly, these non-invasive imaging techniques are either focused on functional/ischaemia assessment (e.g., stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (SP-CMR) (4), dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) (5) and myocardial perfusion scanning (MPS) (6); or focused on imaging the coronary anatomy directly [e.g., coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) (7)]. Whilst several methods of combining functional and anatomical non-invasive imaging have been proposed, these remain in largely within the research-domain (8,9).
The revolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and neural networks within the medical domain over the last decade, has led to real world clinical applications with many automated medical tasks, including predictive analytics. Emerging studies have shown that AI can detect traditionally difficult to diagnose conditions, and empower outcome prediction, in addition to many other applications in treatment, safety, patient adherence, administration and precision medicine (10).
Rationale and knowledge gap
The utilisation of non-invasive imaging to assess patient risk and diagnose CAD is increasing our understanding of long-term patient outcomes. Contemporaneously, the use of AI algorithms in assessing cardiac risk factors and clinical data to predict outcome in at-risk patients is also being developed and adopted. Whilst findings from non-invasive imaging have been incorporated in such models, the algorithms largely rely on clinician interpretation of the imaging. Any direct relationship between the acquired images themselves and predicted outcome has not been investigated and is poorly understood.
Objective
This study aims to assess the probability of predicting patient outcomes from SP-CMR images using a novel AI approach for outcome prediction. We present this article in accordance with the TRIPOD reporting checklist (available at https://jmai.amegroups.com/article/view/10.21037/jmai-24-1/rc).
Method
Study design and population
This was a retrospective observational cohort study. This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (as revised in 2013). The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of King’s College London Partnership (No. 20/ES/0005) and individual consent for this retrospective analysis was waived. Patients undergoing SP-CMR at a single centre (Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust) between April 2011 and March 2021 were screened, and only those with completed studies including full reports and available images were included.
The total number of all-cause mortality events was obtained for the whole population from electronic patients record. The follow-up period was variable depending on the date of the clinical scan, with data collection completed on 20 August, 2021.
Inclusion criteria
We included only patients with complete adenosine stress perfusion study and good quality images, who had complete reports. Exclusion criteria were: reports which were blinded for research purposes, conflicting reports description between main body text and summary findings, terminated stress study due to complications, reports with missing tissue characterisation information, contraindications to using stress agent, mass perfusion studies, dobutamine stress studies, lung perfusion studies, poor response to stress agent, and mis-labelled reports which were originally highlighted as perfusion studies but after inspection found to be otherwise.
Data extraction
Clinical data
Clinical data extraction was performed using natural language processing (NLP) AI-based application called CogStack (11), which allows to extract information from unstructured data sources in multiple formats. Once extracted, harmonised and processed, multiple uses of this unstructured data become possible based around information retrieval and extraction. For the purpose of this study, an NLP model was trained to extract CVD risk factors from unstructured data using medical terms from Systematic Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT), whereas baseline characteristics of the population were extracted from structured data using Application Programming Interface (API) search engine called Elastic Search (12). Samples of documents were ingested into the Medical Concept Annotation Tool (MedCAT), which is used to link electronic health records (EHRs) to biomedical ontologies such as SNOMED-CT and Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) and train NLP models. For this study, SNOMED-CT UK version was used for annotation. Text files were tokenized, lemmatised and pre-processed, then used as inputs into the network with the corresponding labels. Initial self-supervised model was trained using named-entity recognition + linking (NER + L) annotation, this algorithm is used to extract and locate name entities in unstructured text into a pre-defined categories for labelling before training the model. Fine tuning was achieved with supervised learning after a group of expert clinicians labelled a sample of reports with the relevant medical terminology. MedCAT trainer used multiple neural networks architecture (long-short-term-memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and transformers), and the best performing model was deployed into CogStack. All data were anonymised. The AI-based data extraction pipeline is explained in Figure 1.

Image data
For image data extraction, SP-CMR images included three series of frames representing 3 levels of slices: basal, mid and apical left ventricular (LV) slices. These perfusion images were extracted in 2 stages and reviewed by a level 3 CMR reader. During stage 1 the frame of peak signal intensity within the LV cavity was selected using an automated pipeline based on sum and peak pixels per frame. An automated identification and discard of low resolution arterial input function frames utilised pixel gradient algorithms. The use of a four frames per slice allowed for visualisaton of myocardial contrast wash-in/wash-out. In stage 2 the images were cropped to include only the LV myocardium and cavity using a centre crop function. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images were also extracted, including three long axis views (2-chamber, 3-chamber and 4-chamber views) and multi-slice short axis imaging of the whole ventricles. Unique case identification numbers (IDs) were used to link each image series with the corresponding clinical data.
Construction of neural networks
Image convolutional neural network (CNN)
CNN architecture was used when training image-based prediction models. Different experiments were performed with different CNN architectures. Training started from a simple design with LeNet (13) to more complex networks, this included: AlexNet (14), VGG19 (15), ResNet50 (16) and GoogleNet (17). Images were resized to equal height and width of 224 pixels and all frames were stacked for each case with input shape of [224, 224, 25] to include 12 images for stress perfusion and 13 images for LGE datasets. The final layer of each neural network was a Dense layer of one node with ’sigmoid’ activation function to prediction either 1 for mortality event or 0 for none. Binary cross-entropy loss function was used, and an early stopping was used after monitoring F1 score in the validation set. Adam optimiser was chosen with a learning rate of 0.001.
Hybrid neural network (HNN)
A HNN was developed to have mixed input data, both the CMR images and clinical information, in order to extract features from both data types and predict outcome. CNN architecture was used to extract features from stress perfusion and LGE images after removing the top prediction layer and flattening the output to a Dense shape of 4. A multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with 2 Dense layers was used to extract features from continuous and categorical clinical variables after removing the top prediction layer and flattening the output to a Dense shape of 4, to be compatible with the output of CNN. Both outputs were then concatenated and passed to 2 Dense layers with the prediction in the final Dense layer with one node and ’sigmoid’ activation function to predict all-cause mortality. Five different CNN architectures were used in the experiments in a similar approach to the image CNN experiments.
The full pipeline is shown in Figure 2.

Model training
Data was split into 60% for training, 15% for validation and 25% for testing. To overcome class imbalance, the initial bias was adjusted to reflect classes ratio and help training to make better initial guesses by setting the output layer’s bias to reflect that, this can help with initial convergence. The initial bias b0 can be calculated as the following:
This was followed by model building with the new initial bias, and outputting the bias after each epoch of training. Furthermore, class weights were calculated as:
Where w is the class weight, n is the number of class instances, N is the total size of the sample and 2 is the number of classes. Class weight was used as a parameter during fitting the model for training.
Training was monitored with early stopping based on validation precision/recall curve or F1 score, and binary cross-entropy was used as a loss function. After testing two optimisers with various learning rates [Adam and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD)], Adam optimiser with a learning rate of 0.001 was used.
Statistical analysis
Categorical variables were expressed using number and percentage; continuous variables were expressed using mean and standard deviation. Follow-up was calculated as the mean time to all-cause mortality event, and all cases without events and with shorter duration from CMR date to collection date were excluded. The population was divided into three age subgroups given that different CVD risks vary based on adults age subgroups (18) (<65, 65–75, >75 years). The difference in baseline characteristics, clinical risk factors and CMR data between all subgroups was tested using the Chi-square test for categorical variables and a One-Way ANOVA for continuous variables.
Multivariate logistic regression was used as a baseline for comparison with neural networks performance using common CVD risk factors. Continuous variables were normalised using mean values, and categorical variables were used as binary (yes/no) input values, regardless of underlying types of classes. CVD risk factors included: age, gender, CKD, HTN, heart failure, smoking history, previous myocardial infarction, dyslipidaemia, DM and cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Similar approach was taken in building the MLP pipeline in HNN networks.
Testing model performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, area under the curve (AUC) and F1 score, and compared using McNemar’s test. P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
All statistical analysis and networks training was performed using Python programming language, version 3.10.

The total number of patients analysed was 1,286. The total number of patients who died was 201 (16%). Mean follow-up was 1,090 days (IQR, 351−1,749). The study population included males in around two thirds (66% male vs 34% female). More CMR studies were performed at 3 Tesla than 1.5 Tesla (62% vs 38%), using Siemens and Philips vendors. All stress perfusion imaging was conducted via the use of vasodilatory medication to achieve hyperaemia, with the vast majority performed using Adenosine, and a much smaller number receiving Regadenoson (88% vs 12%). Around a third of the population had inducible defects at peak hyperaemia (30%) and/or scar on LGE imaging (33%). All baseline characteristics, CMR data and clinical risk factors are shown in Table 1.

Mortality prediction
The clinical model with logistic regression achieved good performance level (AUC =80%, F1 score =37%), with intercept of −4.17 and coefficients of CKD 0.84, HTN 0.53, male gender 0.59, heart failure 0.26, smoking 0.02, dyslipidaemia 0.13, DM 0.17 and age 4.10. Within image CNN, the best performing neural network was the AlexNet, which showed AUC =72% and F1 score =38%, however, there was poor convergence in training and signs of overfitting. For HNN, GoogleNet with three inception blocks was the best model for feature extraction from images. The performance of HNN was superior to both the image CNN and the clinical model (AUC =82%, F1 score =43%). Compared to image CNN, McNemar’s test showed higher performance of both clinical model (P<0.01) and HNN (P<0.01). There was no significant difference between HNN and clinical model (P=0.15).
AUC and F1 scores for each image CNN model are shown in Table 2, for HNN models in Table 3, and for the clinical model in Table 4. Figure 5 shows the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the precision-recall curves comparison between image CNN, HNN and clinical model.

Discussion
Clinical practice relies on effective risk stratification to guide the management of patients with suspected or known CAD. Utilising clinical risk scores derived from large datasets and long periods of follow-up aids in clinical decision making, achieving an AUC of 80% in our study for the prediction of all-cause mortality based on clinical parameters. This highlights the high sensitivity and specificity of outcome prediction using conventional clinical risk factors and established prediction.
Recent literature emphasises the independent and additional prediction power of non-invasive imaging in CAD, with identified features linked to specific outcomes (4-7), such as high-risk plaque features identified on CCTA (19). Integrating non-invasive imaging into risk scoring algorithms is likely to enhance outcome prediction, encompassing mortality, ventricular arrhythmia, hospitalisation, and other related health outcomes.
The increasing availability and funding, along with technological advancements like higher imaging resolution, improved acceleration techniques, and lower radiation dosing, have made non-invasive imaging essential parts of daily clinical practice.
The prediction of mortality in CAD has been a crucial aspect of clinical practice, and non-invasive imaging, particularly stress perfusion CMR, has played a growing role in predicting treatment response and improving long term outcomes (20).
Our study pioneers the incorporation of image pixel data for predicting clinical outcomes using deep learning and AI technology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of using AI to link image pixels to prognosis in stress perfusion CMR. While prediction from clinical risk factors and CMR findings outperformed image CNN, the HNN combining both types of data achieved the best AUC and F1 scores. This suggests the potential clinical utility of AI, which may identify subtle features missed by human interpretation.
The integration of AI in risk stratification, as demonstrated in this study, holds promise for improving prognostic assessment in patients with suspected CAD. Future research could explore larger and multi-centre populations, and novel AI models using unsupervised learning might generalise predictions on unseen data.
Limitations
This study used retrospective cohort data with heavy class imbalance, only 16% of the population had an event, this can have an impact on the generalisation of the model to external datasets.
As there was no significant statistical difference between HNN and clinical model on McNemar’s test, the redundant information in raw stress perfusion and LGE images are likely to have caused detrimental effects. More refined images with segmentation and quantification of the areas of interests are likely to improve the results in the future.
Conclusions
Direct prediction of mortality in patients with suspected CAD is achievable through analysis of stress perfusion images, even in the absence of clinical information. The utilisation of specific features or characteristics within stress perfusion images contributes to the accuracy of this direct prediction. Furthermore, the integration of HNN, which combines both clinical and stress perfusion CMR images demonstrates a notable improvement in mortality prediction.
This advancement in predictive capabilities has the potential to revolutionise clinical decision making in CAD. The ability to directly predict mortality, coupled with the refinement and combination of clinical and imaging data, positions HNNs as valuable tools in guiding treatment strategies and improving overall patient outcomes.
