Brief Summary

The goal of this observational registry is to collect a curated dataset of multimodal imaging data that will serve for development of artificial-intelligence based solutions for prediction of risk and outcomes in patients with atrial fribrillation. Type of study: observational study Study Participants: Patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who undergo clinically indicated transesophageal echocardiography before catheter ablation or cardioversion. We hypothesize, that automatic analysis of video images of transthoracic echocardiography with deep learning combined with clinical data can predict the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAT). Therefore, our main aim is to create and validate an artificial intelligence model to predict the presence of LAT based on automatic analysis of transthoracic echocardiography with artificial intelligence.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, in whom tranesophageal is performed before cardioversion or catheter ablation ablation.

    We will asses the left atrial appendage in transesophageal echocardiography (TEEO for the presence of the left atrial appendage thrombus. During TEE we will record multiple projections of the left atrial appendage and we will measure laeft atrial appendage flows as listed below: 1. Projection on LAA (Left Atrial Appendage): 0, 45, 90, 135 degrees, and other projections that are necessary to correctly image the entire LAA according to the investigator/ echocardiographer. 2. 3D acquisition of the volume that contains LAA (multi-beat-optimized). 3. Measurement of maximum emptying velocity of LAA 1cm from the LAA ostium - at least three measurements in two different scanning angles, averaged. 4. Acquisition of spectral Doppler image of LAA emptying (three images from two or more scanning angles) (still images).

We plan to release an anonymized dataset in a public repository at the end of the study. This is depending on data sharing agreements with individual sites so the final dataset may not include all participating sites or all variables.
