Developing cardiac digital twin populations powered by machine learning provides electrophysiological insights in conduction and repolarization

SQShuang QianDUDevran UğurluEFElliot Fairweather

Key Result

Cardiac digital twins powered by machine learning revealed that conduction velocity is linked to adverse clinical outcomes, cardiac function, and lifestyle and mental health phenotypes.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3,461 participants from the UK Biobank (UKBB) and a clinical cohort of 359 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD).
I
Intervention
Generation of anatomical and functional cardiac digital twins (CDTs) from MRI and ECG data to infer personalized electrophysiological parameters, specifically conduction velocity (CV) and delayed rectifier potassium conductance (GKrKs).
O
Outcome
Associations of CDT-derived phenotypes (CV, GKrKs) with cardiac function, lifestyle, mental health phenotypes, and clinical outcomes (e.g., heart failure, fascicular block, ischemic heart disease).surrogate

Cardiac digital twins generated at scale from multimodal data can uncover underlying electrophysiological mechanisms, such as conduction velocity and repolarization conductance, that explain variations in ECG phenotypes and predict clinical outcomes.

Abstract

were associated with cardiac function, lifestyle and mental health phenotypes, and CV was also linked with adverse clinical outcomes. Our study demonstrates how CDT development at scale reveals biological insights across populations.
