• Abstract: Purpose- Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies in resource constrained settings are limited by the available imaging modalities for geometry and velocity data acquisition. Doppler echocardiography has been seen as a suitable velocity acquisition modality due to its higher availability and safety. This study aimed to investigate the application of classical machine learning (ML) methods to create an adequate and robust approach for obtaining boundary conditions (BCs) from Doppler Echocardiography images, for haemodynamic modeling using CFD. Methods- Our proposed approach combines ML and CFD to model haemodynamic flow within the region of interest. With the key feature of the approach being the use of ML models to calibrate the inlet and outlet boundary conditions (BCs) of the CFD model. The key input variable for the ML model was the patients heart rate as this was the parameter that varied in time across the measured vessels within the study. ANSYS Fluent was used for the CFD component of the study whilst the scikit-learn python library was used for the ML component. Results- We validated our approach against a real clinical case of severe CoA before intervention. The maximum coarctation velocity of our simulations were compared to the measured maximum coarctation velocity obtained from the patient whose geometry is used within the study. Of the 5 ML models used to obtain BCs the top model was within 5\% of the measured maximum coarctation velocity. Conclusion- The framework demonstrated that it was capable of taking variations of the patients heart rate between measurements into account. Thus, enabling the calculation of BCs that were physiologically realistic when the heart rate was scaled across each vessel whilst providing a reasonably accurate solution.

Yet accurate and robust machine learning (ML) models remains challenging due to variability in data quality and patient-specific factors. In this work, we investigate whether a model pre-trained on one modality can effectively be exploited to improve the accuracy of a different signal type. Our approach achieves near state-of-the-art accuracy for diastolic BP and surpasses by 1.5x the accuracy of prior works for systolic BP.
