Rice-Houston Methodist partnership uses machine learning to reveal hidden patient groups in common heart valve disease
Recent research from Rice and Houston Methodist shows how data-driven methods can sharpen doctors' decisions for patients with aortic regurgitation, a common heart condition where the heart valve doesn't close properly and blood leaks backward into the heart. By applying unsupervised machine learning to comprehensive cardiac MRI and clinical data from 972 patients at four U.S. centers, the team discovered four distinct patient groups or "phenoclusters" that track with very different outcomes, including a high-risk group of women whose disease often looks milder by traditional measures but is linked to higher mortality.
