Tyr78Phe is a rare pathogenic transthyretin (TTR) mutation. Few previous reports described a late-onset hereditary transthyretin-related amyloidosis (ATTR-m) form with a variable phenotype, mainly dominated by neurological manifestations. We describe the case of a 69-year-old male with massive but asymptomatic cardiac infiltration and only...

INTRODUCTION: The role of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in primary prevention real-world population is debated. We sought to evaluate the incidence, predictors and prognostic impact of ICD shocks in consecutive heart failure patients implanted for primary prevention at our tertiary institution.METHODS AND RESULTS: We...

Backgorund: Hereditary transthyretin(vATTR) cardiac amyloidosis has extremely different features according to the type of transthyretin(TTR) mutation. Data about electrocardiographic findings(ECG) in vATTR are limited and not informative of genotype correlation. Aim of this study is to analyze ECG characteristics and their correlation to...

Aims The incidence and risk factors of pacemaker (PM) implantation in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are largely unexplored. We sought to characterize the trends in the incidence of permanent PM and to identify baseline predictors of future PM implantation in light-chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) CA. Methods and results Consecutive...

Background: Data on the incidence and factors associated with de novo atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA) is limited. We described the incidence and factors associated with de novo AF in patients diagnosed with ATTRwt-CA to drive tailored arrhythmia screening.Methods: Multicenter,...

Aim Epidemiology of wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA) remains poorly defined. A better characterization of pathways leading to ATTRwt-CA diagnosis is of key importance, and potentially informative of disease course and prognosis. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of contemporary pathways leading to...

Aims: In the EXPLORER-HCM trial, mavacamten reduced left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and improved functional capacity of symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) patients. We sought to define the potential use of mavacamten by comparing real-world HOCM patients with those enrolled in EXPLORER-HCM and...
