Popis: Background: Non-contrast chest CTs (NCCT) are performed routinely for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and lung cancer screening. However, a large amount of noncoronary and nonpulmonary data from these scans remain unassessed. We aimed to validate a deep learning model to automatically segment and measure left atrial (LA) volumes from routine NCCT and evaluate prediction for cardiovascular outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 273 patients (median age 69 years, 55.5% male) who underwent a routine non-ECG gated NCCT for lung cancer screening. LA volumes were quantified by three expert cardiothoracic radiologists and a prototype AI algorithm. LA volumes were then indexed to the body surface area (BSA). Expert and AI LA volume index (LAVi) were compared and used to predict cardiovascular outcomes within five years. Logistic regression with appropriate univariate statistics were used for modelling outcomes. Findings: There was excellent correlation between AI and expert results with an LAV intraclass correlation of 0.950 (0.936-0.960). Bland-Altman plot demonstrated the AI underestimated LAVi by a mean 5.86 mL/m 2 . AI-LAVi was associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AUC 0.86; OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.08-1.18, p
