Abstract
This paper investigates the use of machine learning (ML) to improve the diagnosis of functionally relevant coronary artery disease (fCAD). Two ML approaches are presented: one using eight static clinical variables and the other leveraging electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from exercise stress testing. Results show that ML outperforms cardiologists in predicting fCAD (AUROC: 0.71 vs. 0.64, p = 4.0E-13), potentially reducing imaging procedures by 15–17%. Combining ML with cardiologist judgment further improves performance (AUROC: 0.74).
