Abstract Advanced data-driven methods can outperform conventional features in electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, but often lack interpretability. The variational autoencoder (VAE), a form of unsupervised machine learning, address this shortcoming by extracting comprehensive and interpretable new ECG features. Our novel VAE model, trained on dataset comprising over one million secondary care median beat ECGs, validated using the UK Biobank, reveals 20 independent that capture information...

Abstract Background Obesity, a key risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, is poorly evaluated by body mass index (BMI), which doesn't account visceral fat and distribution. Given that obesity-related cardiac changes can manifest in surface ECG changes, we hypothesised an AI-ECG model could predict BMI, the discrepancy between AI-predicted actual BMI (delta-BMI) indicate health. We also sought to understand biological mechanisms contributing AI-ECG-derived delta-BMI. Methods The was...

Abstract Background Conventional analysis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is based on extraction human-defined, visually recognisable features. However, these are not optimised to capture all information content in ECG. The variational autoencoder (VAE), a form unsupervised machine learning, can address this shortcoming by computationally extracting comprehensive and interpretable new ECG features, called latent factors. These factors provide low-dimensional representation that maximises data...
