What the trial wants to find out

The objective of this study is to develop artificial intelligence (AI) tools to characterize cardiac remodelling in arterial hypertension through the analysis of routine imaging data (echocardiography) coupled with patient data. More precisely, this study will make it possible (i) to represent in a relevant way the spectrum of the cardiac repercussions of a population affected by hypertension to better characterize the progress of the pathology, in particular vis-à-vis the more ambiguous subjects to be characterized ("grey" area); (ii) to develop tools for the automatic quantification of cardiac function (segmentation and robust monitoring of the myocardium during the cardiac cycle, for the dynamic analysis of the shape and global deformation of the heart) and therefore to extract descriptors richer in cardiac function than those currently used in clinical routine.

The group in the trial

• Hypertensive patients

  Patients having undergone a blood pressure assessment during hospitalization in the Fédération de Cardiologie at Hôpital de la Croix Rousse and Hôpital Lyon Sud from January 2018 to December 2021

  Treatment: Clinical cardiac parameters (Arterial pressure, number of anti-hypertensive medications, and the NT-proBNP measurements)
