Our study leveraged DataRobot's AutoML platform to systematically generate and compare a wide range of machine learning algorithms. This approach minimized manual bias, enhanced reproducibility, and efficiently processed large clinical datasets to develop tailored predictive models for cardiovascular risk.
Enterprise Process Flow
Phase 1 of our study identified key cardiovascular determinants. We found that age, Lp(a), troponin T, BMI, and cholesterol were significant predictors of various CVD events, achieving high accuracy. Phase 2 validated these models, emphasizing statin therapy, age, and NTproBNP.
Automated Machine Learning revealed Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) as a highly influential factor in predicting Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in the LURIC dataset, underscoring its established role in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. This highlights the importance of systematically including Lp(a) in risk assessments.

In Phase 3, our AutoML models achieved high AUC values (0.74-0.85) for 10-year cardiovascular mortality prediction. Key predictors included age, NTproBNP, and vitamin D25 levels, with observed data drift emphasizing the need for continuous model validation and adaptation.
Hypothetical Patient Mortality Risk Assessment (EoL-1 Model)
The EoL-1 model was applied to two hypothetical patients to demonstrate its predictive utility for 10-year cardiovascular mortality. The model's insights highlight how different feature constellations drive risk.
Scenario 1: A 49-year-old woman with normal NTproBNP (63 ng/ml) and vitamin D25 (29 µg/l), non-smoker, and no early CAD diagnosis. The model correctly identified her as having a low risk of cardiovascular mortality.
Scenario 2: A 52-year-old male, active smoker, with PAD, type 2 diabetes mellitus, carotid stenosis, and low vitamin D25 (7 µg/l). The model predicted a high risk of cardiovascular mortality for him.
