Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical big data technology, and in particular to a method and system for predicting coronary artery risk in patients with coronary heart disease. Background Art

[0002] The field of coronary artery disease risk prediction currently faces significant limitations. Traditional clinical assessments primarily rely on static indicators (such as blood lipids and blood pressure) and single imaging studies, making it difficult to integrate multidimensional dynamic risk factors. Existing prediction models are typically constructed based on a single data source and lack comprehensive analysis of genetic susceptibility, long-term physiological changes, and the evolution of plaque characteristics. This results in insufficient sensitivity in identifying high-risk patients and is particularly prone to overlooking early warning signs of asymptomatic progressive lesions.

[0003] Existing technologies face bottlenecks in processing multi-source, heterogeneous data. Unstructured text in electronic medical records, quantitative features from medical images, genomic data, and time-series physiological parameters generated by wearable devices all differ significantly in data structure and spatiotemporal scale, making an effective collaborative analysis framework yet to be established. Conventional prediction methods have limited feature extraction depth for unstructured text, lack accuracy in automated identification of imaging plaque characteristics, and few models can simultaneously process the interactive effects of static clinical data and dynamic physiological monitoring signals.

[0004] Clinical practice urgently needs dynamic, personalized risk warning tools. Current risk scoring systems generally lack real-time update mechanisms, failing to reflect the impact of short-term patient status changes on prognosis. Furthermore, the model's decision-making process lacks interpretability, making it difficult for physicians to quickly identify core risk drivers. Furthermore, existing systems are often independent of the diagnosis and treatment process, failing to directly translate risk prediction results into intervention strategies and leverage medical resources, limiting their clinical translational value.

[0032] According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the present invention claims a coronary risk prediction system for patients with coronary heart disease, referring to Figure 3 ,include: one or more processors; A memory having one or more programs stored thereon, wherein when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the coronary risk prediction method for patients with coronary heart disease.

[0033] In this embodiment, the target patient multi-source heterogeneous data collection is aimed at obtaining clinical data, and extracting the patient's electronic health record from the hospital information system structured database, including: Disease diagnosis entries and disease course description text in medical history records; Drug categories and medication cycles in the long-term medication list; Summary of interventional treatment modalities and postoperative follow-up in surgical records.

[0034] Retrieve original coronary CT angiography image files from the medical imaging archiving system, including the complete cardiac scan sequence, and integrate biomarker test results from laboratory test reports; Genomic data access: Obtain patient gene sequencing reports from genetic testing institutions through encrypted transmission protocols, and analyze the single nucleotide polymorphism site information and gene annotations in the reports; During dynamic physiological monitoring, a Bluetooth low-power communication link is established with a medical-grade ECG monitor to receive and cache continuously collected ECG waveforms and blood oxygen saturation original signals in real time, and an automatic retransmission mechanism is activated for interrupted data streams.

[0035] For hierarchical feature parameter extraction, including clinical data processing and text feature extraction, the unstructured text of electronic medical records is input into the pre-trained medical semantic understanding model: Identify and encode myocardial ischemia-related symptom description entities, extract semantic features of angina attack frequency and duration, and output pathological feature vector representation Coronary image analysis includes vascular reconstruction and calcification identification, isotropic spatial reconstruction of CT image sequences, automatic segmentation of the coronary artery tree in three-dimensional space, detection of continuous areas where the CT values ​​of the vessel wall exceed the calcification threshold, and calculation of the ratio of the volume of the calcified area to the total volume of the vessel segment.

[0036] When quantifying plaque features, a multi-layer segmentation network is used to distinguish plaque subtypes, including non-calcified / mixed / low-density. The relative area ratio of the plaque to the vascular cross-section is calculated based on the three-dimensional morphology of the plaque, and the morphological characteristics of vulnerable plaques, such as surface irregularity, are marked.

[0037] The genomic data were processed for genetic risk modeling, and the patient's gene loci were matched with the coronary heart disease genetic database. Based on the weight coefficient corrected for population frequency, the multi-locus risk effect value was aggregated to output a standardized genetic risk index. Perform ECG signal analysis for dynamic physiological data processing, process continuous ECG data in segments with fixed durations, calculate the degree of discrete fluctuations between adjacent heartbeat intervals as an indicator of autonomic nervous function, identify motion artifacts in the signal, and perform data repair; Monitor blood oxygen abnormalities, detect the duration of time when blood oxygen saturation is below the clinical warning line, count the frequency of abnormal events per unit time, and calculate the coefficient of variation of blood oxygen fluctuation amplitude.

[0038] For the three-level cascade dynamic risk assessment, the first level is feature importance screening, which receives all hierarchical feature parameters and classifies them by source. The association strength between the features and coronary events is evaluated through a tree structure model, and the feature subset with the highest association strength is retained; The second level is temporal trend modeling. It constructs a time series matrix for dynamic physiological characteristics and uses a recurrent network structure with memory units to capture the continuous change pattern of indicators such as heart rate variability. It automatically identifies the decay trajectory of continuously decreasing variability, outputs a mathematical representation of the decay trend, and superimposes an attention mechanism to dynamically weight key time nodes. The third level is multimodal feature fusion for feature interaction processing, generating cross-combination terms of clinical features and genetic features, and calculating the multiplicative composite factor of calcification index and genetic risk; An integrated decision-making mechanism is adopted to input static features, time series trends and interaction items into multiple decision trees. A comprehensive risk score of 0-100 is generated based on voting based on the tree model. When the composite factor exceeds the preset critical value, the risk level escalation rule is activated.

[0039] A dynamic risk map is generated for risk visualization and early warning. The risk score is mapped to a three-color warning level (red / yellow / green). By drawing a trend curve of the risk score over time, the time nodes corresponding to clinical intervention events are marked, and the critical time period of risk level transition is highlighted. The construction of a 3D coronary artery model integrates CT image reconstruction results with plaque location information, uses color gradients to render the spatial distribution of different plaque types, and superimposes the contours of calcified areas on the surface of the vascular model to generate an interactively rotatable atlas of the coronary anatomy. The contribution of high-risk factors is analyzed using model interpretability technology to calculate feature contribution values, which are then sorted by contribution to generate a heat map. Plaque features and genetic factors are highlighted for contribution, and displayed alongside the 3D model: a real-time data dashboard for key physiological indicators, a genetic risk index level indicator, an early warning push mechanism, and a pop-up alert to the attending physician's terminal when the risk level enters the high-risk range. A summary report containing core risk factors is automatically generated, and personalized intervention recommendations are pushed. Recommendations for drug adjustment and dosage optimization include imaging review window planning and specialist clinic appointment recommendations.

[0040] The incremental learning process of the system continuous optimization mechanism of this embodiment includes regularly receiving new patient data and initiating model updates, using an anti-forgetting learning strategy to retain historical knowledge, and triggering full model retraining when model performance fluctuations exceed a tolerance threshold; The quality control module is used to perform integrity verification on the raw data, discard physiological signal segments with severe motion artifacts, exclude blurred CT image frames caused by respiratory motion, and establish a failure retry mechanism for the feature extraction process.

[0041] This program ensures clinical practicality through the above design: Deeply integrate the static risk of multi-source genomes and dynamic physiological changes to capture the multi-dimensional characterization of coronary artery lesions; Using time-series sensitivity to identify progressive attenuation patterns of indicators such as heart rate variability, providing early warning of potential functional deterioration; Execute interpretable output to visualize high-risk plaques in three dimensions, and use heat maps to quantify the contribution of each factor to assist clinical decision-making; A closed-loop intervention plan is formed, and the risk score directly links the generation of treatment recommendations and the scheduling of medical resources to form a closed-loop prevention and control system.

[0042] This example demonstrates that by implementing each technology step by step, a closed loop has been achieved: from data acquisition to feature processing to model decision-making to clinical output. While excluding diagnostic methods, a complete, patent-eligible technical solution has been constructed using quantitative features (such as the 130HU calcification threshold), dynamic mechanisms (such as blood oxygen retransmission), and clinical integration (automatic medical order generation).
