Abstract
Up to one-third of patients selected by current guidelines do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), the aim of this study was to find out novel analytical approaches to improve pre-implantation CRT response prediction. Among 31 pre-implantation features of clinical, laboratory, electrocardiography (ECG), and echocardiography variables in a consecutive cohort of patients receiving a first-time CRT device (CRT-pacemaker or CRT-defibrillator), we developed a machine learning (ML) model with three classification algorithms (support vector machines (SVM), K nearest neighbors, and random subspaces) with the best features combination to predict CRT response. Three categorical variables, left bundle branch block (LBBB), nonischemic cardiomyopathy, and female gender, were independently associated with CRT responses. Among continuous variables, including septal wall thickness, posterior wall thickness, and relative wall thickness (RWT), could regularize ECG QRS duration (QRSd) and significantly enhance the correlation between QRSd and CRT response. The 3 ML algorithms in a total of 38 features combinations constantly recognized that the features combined with QRSd/RWT outperformed the combinations without it. For each of three algorithms, the triplet feature combination of QRSd/RWT, LBBB, and nonischemic cardiomyopathy repeatedly increased the classification rate more than 8%. The best performance for CRT response prediction occurred with SVM model, which proposed actual QRSd/RWT values that favored CRT responses in patients both with and without LBBB. Lower QRSd/RWT values were required for CRT responses in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy compared to those with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. ML from ventricular remodeling characteristics-regularized QRSd improves CRT response prediction.
