  ABSTRACT: Heart shape captures variation in cardiac structure beyond traditional phenotypes of mass and volume. Although observational studies have demonstrated associations with cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases, its genetic basis is less understood. We utilised cardiovascular magnetic resonance images from 45,683 UK Biobank participants to construct a heart shape atlas from bi-ventricular end-diastolic surface mesh models through principal component (PC) analysis. Genome-wide association studies were performed on the first 11 PCs that captured 83.6% of shape variance. We identified 43 significant loci, 14 were previously unreported for cardiac traits. Genetically predicted PCs were associated with cardiometabolic diseases. In particular two PCs (2 and 3) linked with more spherica
