• Abstract: Early detection and localization of myocardial infarction (MI) can reduce the severity of cardiac damage through timely treatment interventions. In recent years, deep learning techniques have shown promise for detecting MI in echocardiographic images. However, there has been no examination of how segmentation accuracy affects MI classification performance and the potential benefits of using ensemble learning approaches. Our study investigates this relationship and introduces a robust method that combines features from multiple segmentation models to improve MI classification performance by leveraging ensemble learning. Our method combines myocardial segment displacement features from multiple segmentation models, which are then input into a typical classifier to estimate the risk of MI. We validated the proposed approach on two datasets: the public HMC-QU dataset (109 echocardiograms) for training and validation, and an E-Hospital dataset (60 echocardiograms) from a local clinical site in Vietnam for independent testing. Model performance was evaluated based on accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The proposed approach demonstrated excellent performance in detecting MI. The results showed that the proposed approach outperformed the state-of-the-art feature-based method. Further research is necessary to determine its potential use in clinical settings as a tool to assist cardiologists and technicians with objective assessments and reduce dependence on operator subjectivity.
