Wild Type Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy Hidden Under Ablation-Refractory Atrial Arrhythmias and the Potential Contribution of Tafamidis in Rhythm Control. [PDF]
An octogenarian man with a history of multiple catheter ablation failures for atrial fibrillation and tachycardia was diagnosed with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. After 1 year of tafamidis therapy, the patient experienced spontaneous restoration of sinus rhythm, and follow‐up image of 99mTc‐pyrophosphate scintigraphy revealed a marked decrease ...

Prevalence, characteristics and outcomes of older patients with hereditary versus wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is often assumed to be associated with wild-type TTR genotype (ATTRwt) in elderly patients (aged >70), some of whom are not offered genetic testing. We sought to estimate the prevalence, clinical
