Summary

This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study aimed at characterizing tricuspid valve remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) without significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR), in relation to AF burden progression.

Eligibility

Age: 18 Years+Healthy volunteers accepted
Inclusion Criteria:

* Consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal or persistent) undergoing transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) prior to AF ablation with acquisition of a 3D TV dataset.

Eligible for enrollment in the control group will be:

1. all consecutive patients with structurally normal hearts and no history of AF or;
2. moderate atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation and AF, in the absence of significant left-sided valvular disease or prior valvular surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Moderate or greater TR assessed using a multiparametric approach;
* Arrhythmias other than AF;
* Prior AF ablations;
* Rapid ventricular response (average HR \>110 bpm) during baseline TTE;
* Inadequate image quality
