摘要

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet blood pressure is measured intermittently and under suboptimal conditions. We developed a deep learning model to identify hypertension and stratify risk of CVD using 12-lead electrocardiogram waveforms. HTN-AI was trained to detect hypertension using 752,415 electrocardiograms from 103,405 adults at Massachusetts General Hospital. We externally validated HTN-AI and demonstrated associations between HTN-AI risk and incident CVD in 56,760 adults at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. HTN-AI accurately discriminated hypertension (internal and external validation AUROC 0.803 and 0.771, respectively). In Fine-Gray regression analyses model-predicted probability of hypertension was associated with mortality (hazard ratio per standard deviation: 1.47 [1.36-1.60], p < 0.001), HF (2.26 [1.90-2.69], p < 0.001), MI (1.87 [1.69-2.07], p < 0.001), stroke (1.30 [1.18-1.44], p < 0.001), and aortic dissection or rupture (1.69 [1.22-2.35], p < 0.001) after adjustment for demographics and risk factors. HTN-AI may facilitate diagnosis of hypertension and serve as a digital biomarker of hypertension-associated CVD.
