Abstract
This focused review will highlight the results of HELIOS-B, the first randomized outcomes trial evaluating a gene silencing treatment for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM). In HELIOS-B, vutrisiran was tested against placebo and demonstrated a 28% reduction in the composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events. Additionally, there were clinically significant benefits on the 6-min walk test, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, and NYHA class. Discontinuation rates and adverse events were similar between treatment and control arms, suggesting that vutrisiran is well tolerated. In this review, these promising results are explored and compared with other treatment trials in ATTR-CM.
期刊介绍:
Heart Failure Reviews is an international journal which develops links between basic scientists and clinical investigators, creating a unique, interdisciplinary dialogue focused on heart failure, its pathogenesis and treatment. The journal accordingly publishes papers in both basic and clinical research fields. Topics covered include clinical and surgical approaches to therapy, basic pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and electrophysiology.
The reviews are comprehensive, expanding the reader''s knowledge base and awareness of current research and new findings in this rapidly growing field of cardiovascular medicine. All reviews are thoroughly peer-reviewed before publication.
