Abstract

Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is increasingly recognized as a treatable form of heart failure. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with ATTR-CA. Whether recent-onset AF can be used as an early marker to identify patients with ATTR-CA has not been elucidated.

Methods: This was a prospective study conducted at 3 Spanish centers. ATTR-CA noninvasive screening was offered to patients ≥65 years old recently diagnosed (<1 year) with non-valvular AF and who had ≥1 echocardiographic, electrocardiographic or clinical sign suggestive of ATTR-CA.

Results: A total of 121 patients were included (75% male, mean age 77±7 years). Ten patients (8.3%, 95%CI:4-14.7%), were diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis (CA): 5 with definite wild-type ATTR-CA (ATTRwt), 4 with likely ATTRwt and one with undetermined CA. Compared to patients without CA, patients with CA were older (84±4 vs. 76±7 years;p<0.001), more frequently men (90% vs. 59%; p=0.047), presented higher median NTproBNP (3800 pg/L, IQR:1682-6101 vs. 1048 pg/mL, IQR:427-3154;p=0.017) and higher left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (14 mm, IQR:13-17 vs. 12 mm, IQR:12-13;p=0.003). Patients with CA also showed higher rate of permanent AF (90% vs. 49.5%;p=0.018) and a greater need for pacemaker implantation during follow-up (30% vs. 7.3%;p=0.049). No differences in mortality were observed between patients with and without CA after a median follow-up of 13 months (IQR:11-16 months).

Conclusions: Routine DPD scanning in elderly patients with recent-onset AF, LVH and an additional red flag may help to identify patients with ATTR-CA. However, larger studies evaluating this strategy in more diverse clinical settings would be required.

近期发生心房颤动的老年患者中心脏淀粉样变性的患病率。PREVAL-ATTR 研究。
背景:转甲状腺素心脏淀粉样变性(ATTR-CA)越来越被认为是一种可治疗的心力衰竭形式。心房颤动(房颤)在 ATTR-CA 患者中很常见。近期发生的房颤是否可作为识别ATTR-CA患者的早期标志物尚未阐明:这是一项在 3 个西班牙中心进行的前瞻性研究。方法:这是一项在西班牙 3 个中心进行的前瞻性研究,为年龄≥65 岁、最近确诊为 ATTR-CA 的患者提供 ATTR-CA 无创筛查:共纳入 121 名患者(75% 为男性,平均年龄为 77±7 岁)。10名患者(8.3%,95%CI:4-14.7%)被确诊为心脏淀粉样变性(CA):5名确诊为野生型ATTR-CA(ATTRwt),4名可能为ATTRwt,1名CA未确定。与无CA的患者相比,CA患者年龄更大(84±4岁对76±7岁;P结论:对近期出现房颤、左心室功能不全和额外红旗的老年患者进行常规 DPD 扫描可能有助于识别 ATTR-CA 患者。然而,需要在更多样化的临床环境中对这一策略进行更大规模的评估研究。
