A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Abstract Aims Amyloid cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of light chain (AL) or transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) fibrils, that leads to a restrictive cardiomyopathy, often resulting in heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.

Natural history and progression of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: insights from ATTR‐ACT
Aims Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is a progressive, fatal disorder that remains underdiagnosed. The Tafamidis in Transthyretin Cardiomyopathy Clinical Trial (ATTR‐ACT) was the first large clinical trial to include both wild‐type (ATTRwt)

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Treatment pipeline, clinical trials, and challenges
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is potentially a fatal disease characterized by abnormal buildup of amyloid fibrils primarily in the heart causing progressive heart failure. It is categorized into two subtypes-hereditary ATTR and wild type

A Case of Systemic Amyloidosis Diagnosed After Excision of a Cutaneous Tumour of the Buttocks
ABSTRACT A 72‐year‐old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with two tumours on the buttocks. Two solitary, 2.5 × 1.5 cm‐sized, dark brown, well‐demarcated elevated plaques were observed, one on each side of the gluteal cleft, and dermoscopic examination showed comedo‐like openings, multiple milia‐like cysts, and a cerebriform pattern with ...

Deep phenotyping of p.(V142I)-associated variant ATTR amyloid cardiomyopathy: distinct from wild-type ATTR 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

ABSTRACT Atrioventricular conduction disturbances and the need for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy are frequently required after transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation (TTVI). The interaction between the annulus, transcatheter heart valve and the leads is often complex and the optimal management under debate.
