Whole-Body Impedance Cardiography: Cardiovascular Evaluation

A whole-body impedance cardiography device (CircMon^R, JR Medical Ltd, Tallinn, Estonia), which records the changes in body electrical impedance during cardiac cycles, was used to determine beat-to-beat HR, stroke index (stroke volume in proportion to body surface area, ml/m²), cardiac index (cardiac output/body surface area, l/min/m²), and PWV (m/s)
[29 (link)-31 (link)]. Left cardiac work index (kg*m/min/m²) was calculated by formula 0.0143*(MAP–PAOP)*cardiac index, which has been derived from the equation published by Gorlin et al.
[32 (link)]. MAP is mean radial arterial pressure measured by tonometric sensor, PAOP is pulmonary artery occlusion pressure which is assumed to be normal (default 6 mmHg), and 0.0143 is the factor for the conversion of pressure from mmHg to cmH₂O, volume to density of blood (kg/L), and centimetre to metre. Systemic vascular resistance index (systemic vascular resistance/body surface area, dyn*s/cm⁵/m²) was calculated from the signal of the tonometric BP sensor and cardiac index measured by CircMon^R.
To calculate the PWV, the CircMon software measures the time difference between the onset of the decrease in impedance in the whole-body impedance signal and the popliteal artery signal. From the time difference and the distance between the electrodes, PWV can be determined. As the whole-body impedance cardiography slightly overestimates PWV when compared with Doppler ultrasound method, a validated equation was utilized to calculate values that correspond to the ultrasound method (PWV = (PWV_impedance*0.696) + 0.864)
[30 (link)]. PWV was determined only in the supine position because of less accurate timing of left ventricular ejection during head-up tilt
[30 (link)]. A detailed description of the method and electrode configuration has been previously reported
[31 (link)]. PWV was also recorded after the head-up tilt in all subjects, and the average difference between the mean PWV before and after the head-up tilt was 0.024 ± 0.388 m/s (mean ± standard deviation), showing the good repeatability of the method (repeatability index R 98%, Bland-Altman repeatability index 0.8)
[33 ]. The cardiac output values measured with CircMon^R are in good agreement with the values measured by the thermodilution method
[31 (link)], and the repeatability and reproducibility of the measurements (including PWV recordings) have been shown to be good
[34 (link),35 (link)].

Unexplained Dyspnea: Invasive Exercise Testing

This was a retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients undergoing invasive exercise testing for the evaluation of unexplained dyspnea between 2006 and 2016 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. The data, analytic methods, and study materials will not be made available to other researchers for purposes of reproducing the results or replicating the procedure. Exclusion criteria included ejection fraction<50% (current or prior), significant valvular heart disease (>mild stenosis, >moderate regurgitation), pulmonary arterial hypertension, constrictive pericarditis, primary cardiomyopathies, or heart transplant. All patients referred for hemodynamic catheterization were evaluated by Mayo staff cardiologists and concluded to have dyspnea not explainable by pulmonary disease based upon evaluations performed at the discretion of the referring physicians.
HFpEF patients were identified by elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure at rest (≥15 mmHg) or during exercise (≥25 mmHg).^{7 (link), 8 (link)} Non-cardiac dyspnea was defined as patients with no evidence of a cardiac etiology for dyspnea after exhaustive clinical evaluation, including normal rest and exercise hemodynamics. Data included in the study were authorized by the patient for use in research with informed consent, and the study was approved by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board.

Hemodynamic Assessment of Fasted Patients

Patients were studied on their chronic medications in the fasted state after minimal sedation as previously described.^{5 (link), 6 (link), 18 (link)–21 (link)} Right heart catheterization was performed through a 9 Fr sheath via the right internal jugular vein. Pressures in the right atrium (RA), right ventricular (RV), PA, and PCWP were measured at end expiration (mean of ≥3 beats) using 2 Fr high fidelity micromanometer-tipped catheters (Millar Instruments, Houston, TX) advanced through the lumen of a 7 Fr fluid-filled catheter (Balloon wedge, Arrow). Mean micromanometer pressures were calibrated to mean fluid-filled pressures at the beginning and throughout each case to avoid baseline drift. Transducers were zeroed at mid-axilla, measured by laser calipers in each patient.
Pressure tracings from the entire study were digitized (250 Hz) and stored for offline analysis by one investigator experienced in exercise hemodynamic assessment (BAB). Mean RA and PCWP were taken at mid A wave. PCWP position was verified by typical waveforms, appearance on fluoroscopy, and direct oximetry (PCWP blood saturation≥94%). Arterial blood pressure (BP) was measured through a 4–6 Fr radial arterial cannula throughout the tests. Arterial-venous O₂ content difference (AVO₂diff) was measured directly as the difference between systemic arterial and PA O₂ content (=saturation*hemoglobin*1.34). Oxygen consumption (VO₂) was measured from expired gas analysis (MedGraphics, St. Paul, MN) to calculate cardiac output (CO), by the direct Fick method (CO= VO₂÷AVO₂diff) at baseline, 20W and peak exercise. Stroke volume (SV) was determined from the quotient of CO and heart rate (HR).

Hemodynamic Parameters Calculation

R_PA is calculated as (mean pulmonary artery (PA) pressure − PCWP)/cardiac output, expressed as mmHg•seconds•mL^−1, C_PA is estimated by stroke volume/PA pulse pressure, (mL•mmHg⁻¹), as validated by several studies.^{1 , 4 (link), 9} R_SA is (mean systemic arterial pressure − mean right atrial pressure)/cardiac output, and C_SA = stroke volume/systemic arterial pulse pressure. The RC time (product of resistance and compliance) is therefore expressed as units of seconds.

Validation of AI Model for Predicting Heart Failure

We develop and validate our model using datasets from two different hospitals. Our first dataset consists of 7121 records from 3767 unique patients who underwent cardiac catheterization at Massachusetts General Hospital (Hospital 1). All patients had a diagnosis of HF (according to ICD 9/10 codes in their medical record) within the 1 year prior to their catheterization date.
This dataset is split into an 80% development set, used to train predictive models, and a 20% internal holdout test set, used for model evaluation. Datasets are constructed such that no data from a single patient appears in different data splits; i.e., all data splits are done on a per-patient basis. We further split the development set on a per-patient level using an 80–20 split into training and “dev” sets. The training set is used to train the model and the dev set is used to determine when training is completed.
Our second dataset consists of 2725 records from 1249 unique patients who underwent cardiac catheterization at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Hospital 2). As with data from MGH, these patients all had a diagnosis of heart failure (according to ICD 9/10 codes in their medical record) within the 1 year prior to their catheterization date. We used this entire dataset as an external validation set for model evaluation.
Each record in the datasets consists of: the mean Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (as measured by cardiac catheterization), a 10-s, 12-lead ECG recorded by the same system (GE Healthcare MUSE) on the same day as the catheterization procedure, and basic demographic information (age/sex). Dataset details are summarized in Table 2.Table 2

Cardiac Dysfunction in Pediatric VSD with PAH

Our study cohort included eight children aged 6–10 years who were hospitalised in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, China on June 2022. Four of the children were diagnosed by echocardiography as VSD without PAH (control group, n = 4) and the other four were diagnosed by echocardiography and right cardiac catheterisation as moderate or severe PAH secondary to VSD (PAH group, n = 4). A diagnosis of PAH by right-heart catheterisation was defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure >25 mmHg at rest, a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure <15 mmHg and a pulmonary vascular resistance of >3 Wood units. We excluded patients receiving targeted therapy for PAH and those diagnosed with other intracardiac malformations, such as patent ductus arteriosus, large atrial septal defect, or other related conditions, like congenital lung disease, bronchial asthma and congenital pulmonary vascular malformation.
During the cardiac operation, atrial appendage specimens were collected from all patients before cardiopulmonary bypass and blood samples were collected via the jugular vein before performing the midline sternotomy. The plasma and right atrial appendage specimens were then aliquoted and stored at −80°C until RNA extraction.

Hemodynamic Analysis of Pulmonary Hypertension

This study uses clinically de-identified RHC data from nine patients with confirmed PH: five with PAH and four with CTEPH. Three CTEPH and three PAH datasets are from Duke University, and one CTEPH and two PAH datasets are from the Scottish Pulmonary Vascular Unit. Static data include height (cm), weight (kg), sex (male (m) or female (f)), age (years), heart rate (bpm), and systolic, diastolic and mean systemic blood pressure (mmHg) measured by a blood pressure cuff. The patients underwent RHC, where a catheter is advanced from the right atrium, to the right ventricle, and to the main pulmonary artery. Dynamic pressure waveforms are recorded in each compartment. The pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP, mmHg), an estimate of left atrial pressure, is also recorded. CO (l min⁻¹) is measured during the RHC by thermodilution. All pressure readings are obtained over 7–8 heartbeats. Demographics are provided in table 1.

Retrospective Study of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

We retrospectively collected and studied adult treatment-naive patients with IPAH or PAH-CHD who were admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital from November 2011 to June 2020. All recruited patients with IPAH or PAH-CHD met the following diagnostic criteria: mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg, PVR >3 WU and PAWP ≤15 mmHg during resting RHC (Galiè et al., 2016 (link)). Except for IPAH and PAH-CHD, patients with other types of PAH or PH belonging to groups 2–5 were also excluded. All recruited patients were prescribed PAH-specific therapy based on multiparameter risk stratification of contemporaneous guidelines, and cardiac function and haemodynamics parameters were assessed by means of echocardiography. In the 2022 ESC/ERS guideline for pulmonary hypertension, it was recommended to use a three-strata risk-assessment model to classify patients as low, intermediate, or high risk at initial assessment, and to use a four-strata model to classify patients as low, intermediate-low, intermediate-high, or high risk during follow-up (Humbert et al., 2022 (link)). Risk stratification can help guides treatment decisions in patients with PAH. Briefly, initial monotherapy with PDE-5i or ERAs was recommended for patients with PAH and cardiopulmonary comorbidities. In patients with PAH without cardiopulmonary complications, initial dual combination therapy of ERAs and PDE-5i was recommended for patients with low- or intermediate-risk of death, and triple combination therapy of ERAs, PDE-5i, and prostacyclin analogue is recommended for patients with high-risk of death. At follow-up, patients who reach low-risk status continued the initial regimen, and patients with medium-low risk were suggested to add prostacyclin receptor agonist or replace PDE-5i to sGC. In addition, intravenous or subcutaneous prostacyclin or evaluation for lung transplantation was recommended for patients who had insufficient treatment response and were still at intermediate-high or even high risk. PAH-specific medications in this study included PDE-5i (e.g., sildenafifil and tadalafifil), ERAs (e.g., bosentan, ambrisentan, and macitentan), prostacyclin analogues (e.g., intravenous or subcutaneous treprostinil, intravenous epoprostenol, and inhaled iloprost), prostacyclin receptor agonists (slexipag), and sGCs (e.g., riociguat). The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Xiangya Hospital.
