Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Performance of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) and/or echocardiography at the Department of Internal Medicine III – Cardiology, Angiology and Pneumology at Heidelberg University Hospital between 2006 and 2024, regardless of the underlying cardiovascular diagnosis or clinical issue
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - An existing pregnancy at the time of the examination - Express objection by the patient to the scientific (secondary) use of their data, provided such an objection is documented - Image or findings data that cannot be analysed or are technically inadequate (e.g. significant motion artefacts, incomplete image sequences, insufficient temporal resolution for determining cardiac phases)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Accuracy of AI-assisted, automated cardiac phase determination in cardiac MRI images compared with manual reference determination, and correlation of the resulting cardiac phase-specific automated strain parameters (radial, circumferential, longitudinal) of the myocardium with conventional, manually recorded measurement parameters. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Correlation and transferability of automatically determined strain parameters between cardiac MRI and echocardiography data - Diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, AUC) of machine learning models based on strain and motion analyses for the phenotyping of cardiovascular diseases and patient stratification - Identification and characterisation of potential subtypes within the HFpEF population using unsupervised cluster analysis in the latent space of neural networks, incorporating image-based, clinical and electrocardiographic parameters | — |
