Brief summary
The goal of this study is to develop an algorithm using artificial intelligence (AI) to assist identification of potential ATTR-CM cases using routine transthoracic echocardiography. The main questions it aims to answer are: * is the algorithm able to diagnose ATTR-CM * is the algorithm able to diagnose different types of ATTR-CM (ATTRv, ATTRwt) This is a non interventional study. Participant' echocardiographies will be, after deidentification, used to train, valid and test the algorithm.
Detailed description
Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is a serious systemic disease affecting multiple target organs including the peripheral nervous system, heart, and kidney. In the absence of treatment, the median survival for symptomatic forms with cardiac involvement is 3 to 4 years. In recent years, new treatments have proven their effectiveness in transthyretin amyloidosis, making it possible to slow the progression of neuropathy and cardiac damage. These treatments seem particularly effective when they are initiated at an early stage of the disease. It is therefore necessary to establish the diagnosis as early as possible in order to benefit the most from the treatment. However, during the clinical examination, the electrocardiogram or the routine echocardiography, the signs evoking cardiac amyloidosis are not specific. The initial diagnosis is therefore often difficult, missed or delayed and the median time between the first symptoms and the initiation of treatment is approximately 3 years. It is therefore the initial phase of diagnosis that must be improved in a sufficiently sensitive and specific manner to detect potential cases early while avoiding unnecessary examinations in the event of a low probability. The objective of the study is to develop and validate a tool to assist the screening of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis, from standard echocardiography, without the need for active participation of the cardiologist in the diagnostic process. This diagnostic contribution will allow the cardiologist to evoke the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis and to consider additional explorations.
