Authors' conclusion

In this cohort study of patients without severe AS undergoing echocardiography or CMR imaging, a new AI-based video biomarker was independently associated with AS development and progression

Study context

Population
Patients without severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing echocardiography (YNHHS 2015–2021; CSMC 2018–2019) or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) (UK Biobank)echocardiographic study
Participants
12,599 patients
Exposure
Higher vs lower baseline DASSi
Outcome
Annualized change in peak aortic valve velocity (AV-Vmax) and late (>6 months) aortic valve replacement (AVR)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

DASSi ≥0.2 vs DASSi <0.2Adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)
late AVR, YNHHS (715 events)
4.97(2.71–5.82)
late AVR, CSMC (56 events)
4.04(0.92–17.70)

m/s per year

AV-Vmax progression per 0.1 DASSi increment, YNHHS (5483 participants)
0.033 (95% CI, 0.028-0.038)
AV-Vmax progression per 0.1 DASSi increment, CSMC (1292 participants)
0.082 (95% CI, 0.053-0.111)
