- Artificial Intelligence-Driven Screening System for Rapid Image-Based Classification of 12-Lead ECG Exams: A Promising Solution for Emergency Room Prioritization(2023) DIAS, Felipe Meneguitti; RIBEIRO, Estela; MORENO, Ramon Alfredo; RIBEIRO, Adele Helena; SAMESIMA, Nelson; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto; KRIEGER, Jose Eduardo; GUTIERREZ, Marco AntonioThe electrocardiogram (ECG) serves as a valuable diagnostic tool, providing crucial information about life-threatening cardiac conditions such as atrial fibrillation and myocardial infarction. A prompt and efficient assessment of ECG exams in environments such as Emergency Rooms (ERs) can significantly enhance the chances of survival for high-risk patients. Despite the presence of numerous works on ECG classification, most of these studies have concentrated on one-dimensional ECG signals, which are commonly found in publicly available ECG datasets. Nevertheless, the practical relevance of such methods is limited in hospital settings, where ECG exams are usually stored as images. In this study, we have developed an artificial intelligence-driven screening system specifically designed to analyze 12-lead ECG images. Our proposed method has been trained on an extensive dataset comprising 99,746 12-lead ECG exams collected from the ambulatory section of a tertiary hospital. The primary goal was to precisely classify the exams into three classes: Normal (N), Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), and Other (O). The evaluation of our approach yielded AUROC scores of 93.2%, 99.2%, and 93.1% for N, AFib, and O, respectively. To further validate our approach, we conducted evaluations using the 2018 China Physiological Signal Challenge (CPSC) database. In this evaluation, we achieved AUROC scores of 91.8%, 97.5%, and 70.4% for the classes N, AFib, and O, respectively. Additionally, we assessed our method using 1,074 exams acquired in the ER and obtained AUROC values of 98.3%, 98.0%, and 97.7% for the classes N, AFib, and O, respectively. Furthermore, we developed and deployed a system with a trained model within the ER of a tertiary hospital for research purposes. This system automatically retrieves newly captured ECG chart images from the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) within the ER. These images undergo necessary preprocessing steps and serve as input for our proposed classification method. This comprehensive approach established an efficient and versatile end-to-end framework for ECG classification. The results of our study highlight the potential of leveraging artificial intelligence in the screening of ECG exams, offering a promising solution for the rapid assessment and prioritization of patients in the ER.
- Prognostic Evaluation of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: 9-year Clinical Follow-up(2023) ANTUNES, Murillo Oliveira; ARTEAGA-FERNANDEZ, Edmundo; SAMESIMA, Nelson; PEREIRA FILHO, Horacio Gomes; MATSUMOTO, Afonso Yoshikiro; VERRIER, Richard L.; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto; MADY, CharlesBackground: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) resulting from ventricular arrhythmia is the main complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) is associated with the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in several heart diseases, but its role in HCM remains uncertain. Objective: To evaluate the association of MTWA with the occurrence of SCD or potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias in HCM patients in a long-term follow-up.

- Favorable Safety Experience of Local Dental Anesthesia in ICD Recipients with Cardiac Channelopathies(2023) OLIVEIRA, Ana Carolina Guimarães; NEVES, Itamara Lucia Itagiba; SACILOTTO, Luciana; OLIVETTI, Natália Quintella Sangiorgi; BUENO, Savia Christina Pereira; PESSENTE, Gabrielle D’Arezzo; SANTOS-PAUL, Marcela Alves dos; MONTANO, Tânia Cristina Pedroso; CARVALHO, Cíntia Maria Alencar de; GRUPI, Cesar José; BARBOSA, Sílvio Alves; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto; SAMESIMA, Nelson; WU, Tan Chen; HACHUL, Denise Tessariol; SCANAVACCA, Maurício Ibrahim; NEVES, Ricardo Simões; DARRIEUX, Francisco Carlos da CostaAbstract Background Dental anesthetic management in implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) recipients with cardiac channelopathies (CCh) can be challenging due to the potential risk of life-threatening arrhythmias and appropriate ICD therapies during procedural time. Objectives The present study assessed the hypothesis that the use of local dental anesthesia with 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine or without a vasoconstrictor can be safe in selected ICD and CCh patients, not resulting in life-threatening events (LTE). Methods Restorative dental treatment under local dental anesthesia was made in two sessions, with a wash-out period of 7 days (cross-over trial), conducting with a 28h - Holter monitoring, and 12-lead electrocardiography, digital sphygmomanometry, and anxiety scale assessments in 3 time periods. Statistical analysis carried out the paired Student’s t test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. In all cases, a significance level of 5% was adopted. All patients were in stable condition with no recent events before dental care. Results Twenty-four consecutive procedures were performed in 12 patients (9 women, 3 men) with CCh and ICD: 7 (58.3%) had long QT syndrome (LQTS), 4 (33.3%) Brugada syndrome (BrS), and 1 (8.3%) Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Holter analysis showed no increased heart rate (HR) or sustained arrhythmias. Blood pressure (BP), electrocardiographic changes and anxiety measurement showed no statistically significant differences. No LTE occurred during dental treatment, regardless of the type of anesthesia. Conclusion Lidocaine administration, with or without epinephrine, can be safely used in selected CCh-ICD patients without LTE. These preliminary findings need to be confirmed in a larger population with ICD and CCh.
conferenceObject THE ASSOCIATION OF ELECTRICAL LEFT AXIS DEVIATION WITH CARDIAC STRUCTURAL ABNORMALITIES IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED AGE: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY.(2023) TAVARES, Caio A.

F. de; PADRAO, Eduardo M. H.; MARQUES, Isabela R.; MIYAWAKI, Isabele A.; LOYOLA JUNIOR, Jose Eduardo Riceto; MOREIRA, Vittoria Caporal S.; GOMES, Cintia; SILVA, Caroliny H. A.; OPRYSKO, Carson; NETO, Augusto Barreto do Amaral; CARDOSO, Rhanderson; SAMESIANA, Nelson; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto; TAVARES, Caio A. M.Background: Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria to detect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) remain under debate. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different ECG criteria for diagnosing LVH in patients with LBBB.Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and LILACS for articles evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of ECG criteria for LVH in patients with LBBB published between 1984 and 2023. Echocardiogram, magnetic resonance imaging, or autopsy were used as the reference standard for diagnosis of LVH. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. The co-primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, the diagnostic odds ratio, and likelihood ratios, estimated using a bivariate generalized linear mixed model for each ECG criterion. The prespecified protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO).Results: We included 12 studies with a total of 1023 patients. We analyzed 10 criteria for LVH on ECG, including the Sokolow-Lyon criterion, the Cornell criterion, the RaVL (R wave in aVL) criterion, the Gubner-Ungerleider criterion, and the Dalfo criterion, among others. The Dalfo criterion was used for 487 patients and had the highest pooled sensitivity of 86% (95% confidence interval [CI] 57%-97%). All the other criteria had poor sensitivities. The Gubner-Ungerleider criterion and the RV5 or RV6 > 25 mm criterion had the highest specificities, with the former being used for 805 patients, obtaining a specificity of 99% (95% CI 80%-100%) and the latter being used for 355 patients, obtaining a specificity of 99% (95% CI 94%-100%). Conclusions: In patients with LBBB, the use of ECG criteria had poor performance for ruling out LVH, mostly due to low sensitivities. None of the criteria analyzed demonstrated a balanced tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity, suggesting that ECG should not be used routinely to screen for LVH.
- Electrovectorcardiographic study of left ventricular aneurysm in ischemic heart disease(2023) VARONI, Leonardo Paschoal Camacho; SAMESIMA, Nelson; FACIN, Mirella; PEREIRA FILHO, Horacio Gomes; MADALOSO, Bruna Affonso; MATHIAS JUNIOR, Wilson; PASTORE, Carlos AlbertoThe aim was to characterize the electrovectorcardiographic pattern of ventricular aneurysms in ischemic cardiopathy by analyzing the cardiac ventricular repolarization. The medical records of 2,670 individuals were analyzed in this cross-sectional study. A test phase included 33 patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiogram with ultrasonic enhancing agent, electrocardiogram, and vectorcardiogram (aneurysm group - n = 22, and akinesia group - n = 11). In the validation phase, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging established the left ventricle segmental contractility in 16 patients who underwent electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic tests (aneurysm group, n = 8, and akinesia group, n = 8). The variables studied were the presence of the T-wave plus-minus pattern and the T-wave loop anterior-posterior pattern in V2-V4. The diagnostic indices used were sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values, with their respective 95% confidence intervals. During the test and validation phases, the analysis of the presence of the T-wave plus-minus pattern identified the aneurysm group with a sensitivity of 91% vs. 87% and specificity of 91% vs. 87% (p < 0.0001 vs. p = 0.01), respectively. Meanwhile, the T-wave loop anterior-posterior pattern evidenced sensitivity of 95% vs. 77% and specificity of 91% vs. 87% (p < 0.0001 vs. p = 0.04), respectively. The electrovectorcardiographic parameters showed high accuracy for recognizing left ventricular aneurysms in ischemic heart disease.
