Abstract In the 2021 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) heart failure (HF) guidelines, sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were recommended for the prevention of HF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and for the treatment of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

The aim of our study was to develop a more accurate staging system for hereditary ATTR patients currently receiving specific treatment. A staging system was created using as criteria: GLS ≤ −11%, NT‐proBNP ≤ 2,000 ng/L, and eGFR ≤ 65 mL/min. We managed to accurately stratify patients into three disease stages, significantly different in terms of ...

Effect of Tafamidis on Cardiac Function in Patients With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Post Hoc Analysis of the ATTR-ACT Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
IMPORTANCE: Tafamidis has been shown to improve survival in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) compared with placebo. However, its effect on cardiac function has not been fully characterized.

Clinical and Prognostic Implications of Right Ventricular Uptake on Bone Scintigraphy in Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: The extent of myocardial bone tracer uptake with technetium pyrophosphate, hydroxymethylene diphosphonate, and 3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylate in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) might reflect cardiac amyloid burden and

Best Practices for Prognostic Evaluation of a Patient With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has emerged as an increasingly identified etiology of heart failure. Fortunately, the disease now has an approved therapy, with many others under development.

Deep phenotyping of p.(V142I)‐associated variant transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Distinct from wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis? [PDF]
Aims: Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure. A total of 3-4% of individuals of African descent carry a TTR gene mutation encoding the p.(V142I) variant, a powerful risk factor for development ...
