The precise quantification of infarcted tissue is crucial to diagnosis, therapeutic management, and post-MI care. Late gadolinium enhancement-cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMR) is regarded as the gold standard for precise infarct tissue localization in MI patients. A fundamental limitation of LGE-CMR is the invasive intravenous introduction of gadolinium-based contrast agents that present potential high-risk toxicity, particularly for individuals with underlying chronic kidney diseases. Herein, we develop a completely non-invasive methodology that identifies the location and extent of an infarct region in the left ventricle via a machine learning (ML) model using only cardiac strains as inputs. In this transformative approach, we demonstrate the remarkable performance of a multi-fidelity ML model that combines rodent-based in-silico-generated training data (low-fidelity) with very limited patient-specific human data (high-fidelity) in predicting LGE ground truth. Our results offer a new paradigm for developing feasible prognostic tools by augmenting synthetic simulation-based data with very small amounts of in-vivo human data. More broadly, the proposed approach can significantly assist with addressing biomedical challenges in healthcare where human data are limited.
