Key result
Combined myocardium and papillary muscle radiomics differentiate HCM from HHD with ~0.94 AUC, outperforming CMR.
Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate whether radiomic features derived from the myocardium and papillary muscle on CMR can aid in LVH detection and differentiating HCM from hypertensive heart disease.
Do machine learning models using radiomic features from the myocardium and papillary muscle improve the differentiation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from hypertensive heart disease compared to standard CMR parameters in subjects undergoing CMR?

Combining radiomic features from the myocardium and papillary muscle on CMR significantly improves the ability to differentiate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from hypertensive heart disease.
May support improved HCM vs HHD differentiation on CMR; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the value of radiomic features derived from the myocardium (MYO) and papillary muscle (PM) for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) detection and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) versus hypertensive heart disease (HHD) differentiation. Methods: There were 345 subjects who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations that were analyzed. After quality control and manual segmentation, the 3D radiomic features were extracted from the MYO and PM. The data were randomly split into training (70%) and testing (30%) datasets. Feature selection was performed on the training dataset. Five machine learning models were evaluated using the MYO, PM, and MYO+PM features in the detection and differentiation tasks. The optimal differentiation model was further evaluated using CMR parameters and combined features. Results: Six features were selected for the MYO, PM, and MYO+PM groups. The support vector machine models performed best in both the detection and differentiation tasks. For LVH detection, the highest area under the curve (AUC) was 0.966 in the MYO group. For HCM vs. HHD differentiation, the best AUC was 0.935 in the MYO+PM group. Comparing the radiomics models to the CMR parameter models for the differentiation tasks, the radiomics models achieved significantly improved the performance (p = 0.002). Conclusions: The radiomics model with the MYO+PM features showed similar performance to the models developed from the MYO features in the detection task, but outperformed the models developed from the MYO or PM features in the differentiation task. In addition, the radiomic models performed better than the CMR parameters’ models.

Liu et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive heart disease (n=345). Myocardium and papillary muscle radiomic features vs. CMR parameters was evaluated on Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy versus hypertensive heart disease differentiation (AUC 0.935, p=0.002). Combined myocardium and papillary muscle radiomic features differentiated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from hypertensive heart disease with an AUC of 0.935, outperforming CMR parameters (p=0.002).
