SGLT2 inhibitors for the prevention and treatment of heart failure: A scientific statement of the HFA and the HFAI

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
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).

Creatinine, diet, micronutrients, and arsenic methylation in West Bengal, India. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BackgroundIngested inorganic arsenic (InAs) is methylated to monomethylated (MMA) and dimethylated metabolites (DMA). Methylation may have an important role in arsenic toxicity, because the monomethylated trivalent metabolite [MMA(III)] is highly toxic ...

A new staging system for hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in the era of specific amyloidosis therapies

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
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 ...

Misdiagnosis of hereditary amyloidosis as AL (Primary) amyloidosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Background: Hereditary, autosomal dominant amyloidosis, caused by mutations in the genes encoding transthyretin, fibrinogen A -chain, lysozyme, or apolipoprotein A-I, is thought to be extremely rare and is not routinely included in the differential ...

A Review of Patisiran (ONPATTRO®) for the Treatment of Polyneuropathy in People with Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis

open access: yesNeurological Therapeutics, 2020
Hereditary variant transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is a rare genetic defect that affects about 5000–10,000 people worldwide, causing amyloidosis secondary to misfolding of mutant transthyretin (TTR) protein fibrils.

Nuclear imaging and echocardiographic findings in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without ATTR‐CM

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Patients 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 ...

Piscine (Sparus aurata) transthyretin cDNA cloning and characterization [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Transthyretin (TTR) is one of the three plasma proteins that participate in the transport of thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3); it is also involved in the carriage of retinol through the mediation of retinol-binding protein.1 ...
