Although echocardiography is the standard diagnostic method, it requires expert interpretation. Other techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac catheterization, and angiography, are costly and invasive. This study investigates the feasibility of using PPG signals for exploring MR-related signal patterns and supporting non-invasive monitoring via machine learning techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_bmt-2025-0417_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 1,590\u00a0ten-second PPG recordings, 37 features were extracted.

Using 10-fold cross-validation, the proposed ensemble classifier achieved an accuracy of 91.07\u202f%, sensitivity of 0.9462, specificity of 0.8765, AUC of 0.9113, and MCC of 0.8249 using 11 selected PPG features.
