We present a deep learning model that predicts left atrial (LA) volume from standard 12-lead ECG recordings and basic patient data. This approach offers a low-cost, scalable alternative to MRI-based LA volume measurement, which remains the clinical gold standard but is often inaccessible. Our model performs regression directly on LA volume targets and leverages Shapley values to provide interpretable feature importance. Results highlight the predictive value of ECG signals and demonstrate that patient features such as weight and height contribute meaningfully to the estimation.

Matching journals

The top 7 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
