A low-cost texture-based pipeline for predicting myocardial tissue remodeling and fibrosis using cardiac ultrasound.

The association of texture-based clustering with MACE was significant in the univariate model (HR 2.85, 95% CI 1.69 – 4.78, p <0.001 by Cox proportional hazard analysis) and a model adjusted with other clinical factors (age, sex, body mass index, history of coronary heart disease, hypertension, and LVEF; HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.01 – 3.00, p = 0.047 by Cox proportional hazard analysis), and showed borderline significance in a model adjusted with the MAGGIC score (HR 1.68, 95% CI 0.99 – 2.87, p = 0.057 by Cox proportional hazard analysis).
