World Heart Federation Consensus on Transthyretin Amyloidosis Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). [PDF]
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a progressive and fatal condition that requires early diagnosis, management, and specific treatment. The availability of new disease-modifying therapies has made successful treatment a reality. Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy can be either age-related (wild-type form) or caused by mutations in the ...

Nuclear imaging and echocardiographic findings in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without ATTR-CM. [PDF]
AbstractAimsPatients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) often experience delayed diagnosis, which may detrimentally impact clinical outcomes. This study aimed to assess the frequency of use of planar scintigraphy with and without single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM ...

Navigating the emerging landscape of asymptomatic ATTR-CM: challenges, opportunities and the path ahead. [PDF]
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has long been considered a rare and inexorably fatal condition. However, advances in noninvasive diagnosis, disease awareness, and available treatments have enabled diagnosis in asymptomatic stages, before development of clinical heart failure (HF). The emerging entity of asymptomatic ATTR-CM presents both

The Mayo ATTR-CM score versus other diagnostic scores and cardiac biomarkers in patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. [PDF]
Several scores were developed to help the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA). The most recent one, being the Mayo transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) score, was not externally validated.

Best Practices in Nuclear Imaging for the Diagnosis of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in KSA: The Eagle Eyes of Local Experts [PDF]
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a complex and serious form of heart failure caused by the accumulation of transthyretin amyloid protein in the heart muscle. Variable symptoms of ATTR-CM can lead to a delayed diagnosis.

Race, Sex, and Ejection Fraction-Based Differences in Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) Risk Prediction. [PDF]
Background: The early detection of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) is essential, with Tc-99m pyrophosphate scintigraphy (PYP scan) being a key diagnostic tool. Although a previously validated score has shown promise in predicting PYP scan positivity among patients with HFpEF, further evaluation in diverse cohorts is necessary.

Six-minute walk test as clinical end point in cardiomyopathy clinical trials, including ATTR-CM: a systematic literature review [PDF]
Aim: The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a common measure of functional capacity in patients with heart failure (HF). Primary clinical study end points in cardiomyopathy (CM) trials, including transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis with CM (ATTR-CM), are ...
