Cadmamba: a differential feature fusion-based neural network for coronary artery disease screening from facial videos
摘要
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with its insidious nature and high fatality rate emphasizing the critical importance of early screening. However, current facial video-based CAD screening methods struggle with feature extraction, making it hard to capture subtle long-term facial variations. To address this issue, this paper proposes CADMamba, a deep neural network model based on the Mamba module. CADMamba designed to assess CAD risk non-invasively by analyzing easily accessible facial videos from daily life. To enhance feature extraction and capture long-term temporal dependencies, CADMamba incorporates a differential frame feature fusion method based on self-attention (DFF-AFF) and the CADMamba Encoder. The model was evaluated using 2,250 video samples (374 subjects, of whom 54% had CAD), demonstrating a strong correlation between CADMamba’s predictions and actual outcomes. The recall and precision rates were 84.70% and 80.37%, respectively, representing a notable improvement compared to baseline video models. This model shows promise in supporting early CAD screening efforts, especially in areas with scarce medical resources.
