Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a leading contributor to sudden cardiac death worldwide in young adults, yet its diagnosis remains complex, expensive and time-consuming. Machine-learning (ML) classifiers offer a practical solution by delivering rapid, scalable predictions that can lessen dependence on expert interpretation and speed clinical decision-making. Here, we benchmarked six ML algorithms for ARVC detection using area-under-the-curve (AUC) and accuracy as primary metrics. Gradient Boosted Trees outperformed all other models, achieving a c-statistic of 94.34% after rigorous cross-validation. These results underscore the promise of Gradient Boosted Trees classifier as an effective decision-support tool within the ARVC diagnostic workflow, with potential to streamline evaluation and improve patient outcomes.

Matching journals

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
