Article Title: Validation of AI-enhanced ECG image analysis for identifying extreme cardiac magnetic resonance metrics in a cross-ethnic UK biobank study

doi: 10.1038/s41598-026-41824-5

Figure Lengend Snippet: Flowchart illustrating AI-ECG algorithm development and validation dataset. The six AI-ECG models used in this study s– four targeting functional abnormalities and two targeting structural abnormalities – were previously developed using ECG datasets from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH). These models were validated against CMR-derived values in the UK Biobank population. CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, ECG electrocardiography, QCG quantitative ECG, LVD left ventricular dysfunction, RVD right ventricular dysfunction, GLS global longitudinal strain, LVH left ventricular hypertrophy, LAE left atrial enlargement.

Article Snippet: CMR imaging in the UK Biobank was conducted using 1.5-Tesla MAGNETOM Aera scanners (Siemens Healthcare, Syngo Platform VD13A), following a previously established protocol .

(B) Association of Age, Sex and Activity with left atrial to ventricular volume ratio. Results from UK Biobank cohort used for ischemic stroke/TIA analysis. Blue lines show linear regression lines. For LAVi and LA:LV ratio outliers more than three standard deviations from the mean are not shown. Boxplots show mean (point) and median (line) values with interquartile range. Values outside two standard deviations from the mean are not shown. LAVi: left atrial volume indexed to body surface area, LA to LV ratio: left atrial to ventricular volume ratio, L: low, M: medium, H: high.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Associations of LAVi with cortical volumes according to Desikan-Killiany parcellation. (B) Associations of LA:LV ratio with cortical volumes according to Desikan-Killiany parcellation. Colors show significant regression coefficients for association of standardized cortical volume with standardized LAVi/LA:LV ratio, adjusted for age, sex and intracranial volume. Red regions show atrophy associated with larger LAVi/LA:LV ratio. Parcellation of the temporal pole (grey) was not performed in the UK Biobank data due to unreliable results. Analysis included 28’954 participants with available heart and brain imaging. Plot created using python package pySimpleBrainPlot. LAVi: left atrial volume indexed to body surface area, LA to LV ratio: left atrial to ventricular volume ratio.
