Key result
Random Forest model predicts post-revascularization angina with 0.90 AUC, outperforming logistic regression.
Why the study?
Recurrent angina following PCI or CABG poses significant clinical challenges, and traditional risk tools have limitations in predicting short-term recurrence.
Does a Random Forest machine learning model accurately predict one-month post-revascularization angina in patients who have undergone PCI or CABG?
Observational (n=753)
Yes
Does a Random Forest machine learning model accurately predict one-month post-revascularization angina in patients who have undergone PCI or CABG?
A Random Forest machine learning model incorporating cardiac, hemostatic, psychological, and metabolic factors provides a robust and interpretable tool for predicting the risk of angina recurrence one month after PCI or CABG.

Background Recurrent angina pectoris following coronary revascularization via percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) poses significant clinical challenges, associated with reduced quality of life and increased healthcare burden. Traditional risk tools have limitations in predicting short-term recurrence. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) predictive model for post-revascularization angina (PRA). Methods This study used patient data from 38 clinical research centers in 23 provinces of China from 2016 to 2018. Data from 626 patients in a derivation cohort recruited from 28 centers across 16 Chinese provinces and 127 in an external validation cohort from another 10 centers across 10 provinces were analyzed. The Boruta algorithm selected key features, and eight ML models were trained on 70% of the derivation cohort, internally validated on 30%, and externally validated. Performance metrics included area under the curve (AUC), decision curve analysis (DCA), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score. The Shapley Additive explanation (SHAP) values provided model interpretability. Results The Boruta algorithm selected six features: New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, cardiac troponin T (cTnT), prothrombin time (PT), depression severity, abdominal circumference, and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The Random forest (RF) model outperformed others, achieving an AUC of 0.90 (accuracy 0.88, sensitivity 0.77, specificity 0.92, F1 0.78) in internal validation and 0.87 in external validation. The SHAP algorithm confirmed the features’ predictive importance, with higher NYHA class, elevated cTnT, and depression severity positively influencing PRA risk. Conclusions This RF model offers a robust, interpretable tool for early PRA risk stratification, integrating cardiac, hemostatic, psychological, and metabolic factors. It supports personalized post-revascularization care, though prospective, multi-ethnic validation is needed to enhance generalizability.

Wáng et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Patients aged 35-85 years in China with coronary artery disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and were followed up for one month to assess angina recurrence (n=753). Machine learning predictive model using Random Forest algorithm for risk prediction of post-revascularization angina vs. Other machine learning models and baseline logistic regression model was evaluated on One-month post-revascularization angina defined as Seattle Angina Questionnaire-Angina Frequency score below 100 (AUC 0.90 internal validation, AUC 0.87 external validation for RF model; AUC 0.74 for baseline logistic regression). The Random Forest machine learning model predicted one-month post-revascularization angina with an AUC of 0.90 in internal validation and 0.87 in external validation, outperforming logistic regression (AUC 0.74) in Chinese patients undergoing PCI or CABG.
