• Abstract: Identifying robust associations between cardiac imaging phenotypes and clinical diseases is fundamental to population-scale cardiovascular research and reliable risk stratification. However, current phenome-wide association studies rely on pre-defined, single-variable phenotypes or expert-crafted features, which limits their ability to capture clinically meaningful non-linear effects and cross-phenotype interactions. To address this, we propose CPAgents, an iterative phenotype-Composition framework for cardiovascular Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) that automatically constructs and validates interpretable composite phenotypes (e.g., polynomial, ratio, and interaction forms) from base imaging features. Specifically, our system coordinates three agents: (i) an Analyst that identifies statistical pathologies and nominates candidate transformations; (ii) a Proposer that generates constrained, medically and statistically motivated expressions under numerical safety rules; and (iii) a Verifier that evaluates candidates using multi-stage criteria and produces transparent evidence trails for accepted phenotypes. Evaluated on a population-scale cardiac imaging cohort, the discovered composite phenotypes markedly improve disease discrimination: across 72 classifier-disease-metric combinations, our variants achieve the top rank in 56 cases versus 18 for baselines, with gains observed across all nine clinical disease categories. Our framework yields compact, clinically interpretable phenotype formulas with transparent evidence trails, enabling scalable discovery of stronger phenotype-disease associations beyond expert-driven feature selection.
