abstract: Recent advancements in non-invasive detection of Cardiac Hemodynamic Instability (CHDI) primarily focus on applying machine learning techniques to a single data modality, e.g. cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite their potential, these approaches often fall short especially when the size of labeled patient data is limited, a common challenge in the medical domain. Furthermore, only a few studies have explored multimodal methods to study CHDI, which mostly rely on costly modalities such as cardiac MRI and echocardiogram. In response to these limitations, we propose a novel multimodal variational autoencoder (CardioVAE_X, G) to integrate low-cost chest X-ray (CXR) and electrocardiogram (ECG) modalities with pre-training on a large unlabeled dataset. Specifically, CardioVAE_X, G introduces a novel tri-stream pre-training strategy to learn both shared and modality-specific features, thus enabling fine-tuning with both unimodal and multimodal datasets. We pre-train CardioVAE_X, G on a large, unlabeled dataset of 50,982 subjects from a subset of MIMIC database and then fine-tune the pre-trained model on a labeled dataset of 795 subjects from the ASPIRE registry. Comprehensive evaluations against existing methods show that CardioVAE_X, G offers promising performance (AUROC = 0.79 and Accuracy = 0.77), representing a significant step forward in non-invasive prediction of CHDI. Our model also excels in producing fine interpretations of predictions directly associated with clinical features, thereby supporting clinical decision-making.
