    Abstract: The outcomes of mitral valve replacement/repair (MVR) in severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) patients depend on various risk factors. We aimed to develop a risk prediction model for post-MVR mortality in severe degenerative MR patients using machine learning. Methods and results Consecutive severe degenerative MR patients undergoing MVR were analysed (n = 1521; 70% training/30% test sets). A random survival forest (RSF) model was constructed, with 3-year post-MVR all-cause mortality as the outcome. Partial dependency plots were used to define the thresholds of each risk factor. A simple scoring system (MVR-score) was developed to stratify post-MVR mortality risk. At 3 years following MVR, 90 patients (5.9%) died in the entire cohort (59 and 31 deaths in the training and test sets). The most important predictors of mortality in order of importance were age, haemoglobin, valve replacement, glomerular filtration rate, left atrial dimension, and left ventricular (LV) end-systolic diameter. The final RSF model with these six variables demonstrated high predictive performance in the test set (3-year C-index 0.880, 95% confidence interval 0.834–0.925), with mortality risk increased strongly with left atrial dimension & gt;55 mm, and LV end-systolic diameter & gt;45 mm. MVR-score demonstrated effective risk stratification and had significantly higher predictability compared to the modified Mitral Regurgitation International Database score (3-year C-index 0.803 vs. 0.750, P = 0.034). Conclusion A data-driven machine learning model provided accurate post-MVR mortality prediction in severe degenerative MR patients. The outcome following MVR in severe degenerative MR patients is governed by both clinical and echocardiographic factors.

    Abstract: To develop a mortality risk prediction model in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), using left ventricular (LV) function parameters with clinical factors. Methods and results In total, 4312 patients admitted for AHF were retrospectively identified from three tertiary centres, and echocardiographic parameters including LV ejection fraction (LV-EF) and LV global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) were measured in a core laboratory. The full set of risk factors was available in 3248 patients. Using Cox proportional hazards model, we developed a mortality risk prediction model in 1859 patients from two centres (derivation cohort) and validated the model in 1389 patients from one centre (validation cohort). During 32 (interquartile range 13–54) months of follow-up, 1285 patients (39.6%) died. Significant predictors for mortality were age, diabetes, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, natriuretic peptide, glomerular filtration rate, failure to prescribe beta-blockers, failure to prescribe renin–angiotensin system blockers, and LV-GLS; however, LV-EF was not a significant predictor. Final model including these predictors to estimate individual probabilities of mortality had C-statistics of 0.75 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73–0.78; P  & lt; 0.001] in the derivation cohort and 0.78 (95% CI 0.75–0.80; P  & lt; 0.001) in the validation cohort. The prediction model had good performance in both heart failure (HF) with reduced EF, HF with mid-range EF, and HF with preserved EF. Conclusion We developed a mortality risk prediction model for patients with AHF incorporating LV-GLS as the LV function parameter, and other clinical factors. Our model provides an accurate prediction of mortality and may provide reliable risk stratification in AHF patients.

    Abstract: We aimed to analyse the time-serial change of cardiac function in light-chain (AL) cardiac amyloidosis patients undergoing active chemotherapy and its relationship with patient outcome. Methods and results  Seventy-two patients with AL cardiac amyloidosis undergoing active chemotherapy who had two or more echocardiographic examinations were identified from a prospective observational cohort (n = 34) and a retrospective cohort (n = 38). Echocardiographic parameters were obtained immediately prior to 1–3, 3–6, 6–12, and 12–24 months after the first chemotherapy. Study endpoint was a composite of death or heart transplantation (HT). During a median of 32 months (interquartile range 8–51) follow-up, 33 patients (45.8%) died and 4 patients (5.6%) underwent HT. Echocardiograms immediately prior to the first chemotherapy did not show differences between the patients with adverse events vs. those without. Significant increase in mitral E/e′ ratio and decline in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) was observed, starting at 3–6 months after the first chemotherapy only in those who experienced adverse events on follow-up, which was also evident in those who responded to chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that B-natriuretic peptide & gt;500 pg/mL and troponin I & gt;0.15 ng/dL at initial diagnosis, hospitalization for heart failure, E/e′ & gt;15, and LV-GLS & lt;10% during follow-up were independent predictors of outcome. Conclusions  In AL cardiac amyloidosis patients undergoing active chemotherapy, the deterioration of LV function may occur, starting even at 3–6 months after the first chemotherapy. Serial echocardiography may help identify those who experience a clinical event in the near future despite active chemotherapy.
