Does a computational framework combining machine learning and cellular mathematical modeling improve the prediction of arrhythmia susceptibility compared to standard myocyte-level metrics?
A novel computational framework combining machine learning and cellular modeling improves the prediction of arrhythmia susceptibility at the cellular level, offering a proof of concept for future clinical translation.
Significance Despite our understanding of the many factors that promote ventricular arrhythmias, it remains difficult to predict which specific individuals within a population will be especially susceptible to these events. We present a computational framework that combines supervised machine learning algorithms with population-based cellular mathematical modeling. Using this approach, we identify electrophysiological signatures that classify how myocytes respond to three arrhythmic triggers. Our predictors significantly outperform the standard myocyte-level metrics, and we show that the approach provides insight into the complex mechanisms that differentiate susceptible from resistant cells. Overall, our pipeline improves on current methods and suggests a proof of concept at the cellular level that can be translated to the clinical level.
