Abstract

Myocardial infarction results in changes in the structure and tissue deformation of the ventricles. In some cases, the development of the disease may trigger an arrhythmic event, which is a major cause of death within the first twenty four hours after the infarction. Advanced analysis methods are increasingly used in order to discover particular characteristics of the myocardial infarction development that lead to the occurrence of arrhythmias. However, such methods usually consider only a single feature or combine separate analyses from multiple features in the analytical process. In an attempt to address this, we propose to use cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to extract data on the shape of the ventricles and volume and location of the infarct zone, and to combine them within one analytical model through a multiple kernel learning framework. The proposed method was applied to a cohort of 46 myocardial infarction patients. The location, rather than the volume, of the infarct region was found to be correlated with arrhythmic events and the proposed combination of kernels yielded excellent accuracy (100%) in distinguishing between patients that did and did not present at the hospital with ventricular fibrillation.
