Abstract
Notwithstanding the dramatic improvement associated with Tafamidis in Heart Failure due to wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA), the effect of exercise training on ATTRwt-CA remains unexplored. We hereby present rationale and design of the Exercise training and Rehabilitation in Cardiac Amyloidosis study. This interventional, controlled study will randomize ATTRwt-CA patients into a control group and a training group. Primary endpoint will be the distance obtained at the 6-min walk test. Quality-of-life, peak oxygen consumption, left and right heart architecture and function, and natriuretic peptides will be secondary endpoints.
期刊介绍:
Heart failure is quickly becoming the most pressing health problem in the United States. Heart Failure Clinics provides practical, concise and easy-to-read coverage that encompasses everything you need to know about the current literature. Topics include acute decompensated heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, ventricular dysfunction, comorbidities of heart failure, diastolic dysfunction, genetic evaluation, ischemic heart disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and surgery/transplantation.
