Despite relatively recent diagnosis (four months), most patients had advanced transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
Ventilation abnormalities appeared to play a more important role in ATTR-CM-associated shortness of breath than cardiac output abnormalities.
If approved, vutrisiran would become the first U.S. treatment to treat both polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy linked to ATTR.
Nine years of treatment with tafamidis prevented hospitalizations for heart failure in two patients with ATTR-CM.
ATTR-CM is thought to affect mainly men. But recent studies suggest that more women could have the disease than earlier thought.
A study detailed the characteristics of people with the disease in ATTR-CM centers in the two Australasian countries.
A systematic screening process for relatives of patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has shown promising results.
The study results suggested that tafamidis may stabilize ATTR-CM progression rather than reverse its effects.
Nucresiran showed potential as a treatment for transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), Alnylam Pharmaceuticals said.
