This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RA function and AF onset in ATTR\u2010CM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">The derivation cohort comprised 143 patients with ATTR\u2010CM without prior atrial arrhythmias at Kumamoto University Hospital. Association between baseline parameters and new\u2010onset AF during the follow\u2010up period was analyzed using Cox regression models. Discrimination was assessed using time\u2010dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis at 24\u2009months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">During follow\u2010up (median, 30\u2009months), 42 patients (29%) developed new\u2010onset AF. Lower RA peak LS was independently associated with incident AF and showed moderate discrimination (time\u2010dependent area under the curve, 0.72); the optimal cutoff at 24 months was 17.2%. Patients with RA peak LS &lt;17.2% had significantly lower AF\u2010free survival. A novel risk score integrating RA and left atrial peak LS and LA volume index effectively stratified AF risk. External validation in an independent cohort of 81 patients from Oita and Miyazaki University Hospitals confirmed consistent associations between lower RA peak LS and higher AF incidence, supporting the reproducibility of the findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">RA peak LS is a novel, robust predictor of new\u2010onset AF in ATTR\u2010CM and provides additional information alongside established clinical and left atrial parameters. Incorporating RA functional assessment may improve risk stratification and guide early interventions in high\u2010risk patients.<\/jats:p>\n
