A Multicenter Study of Contemporary Long-Term Tafamidis Outcomes in Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
Background
Tafamidis improved survival and decreased cardiovascular hospitalizations in the ATTR-ACT trial. Due to improved recognition and earlier diagnosis, the epidemiology of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is rapidly evolving.
Objectives
The authors sought to evaluate the contemporary long-term outcomes of patients with ATTR-CM treated with tafamidis.
Methods
Patients with ATTR-CM who received at least 1 dose of tafamidis between 2018 and 2021 at 5 amyloidosis centers in the United States were enrolled. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality.
Results
Among 624 patients, mean age was 76.9 ± 8.4 years, 12.5% were female, 17.5% were Black, and 17.5% had variant ATTR-CM. At the time of tafamidis start, 52% had NYHA functional class II, 34% had NYHA functional class III, 40% were in National Amyloidosis Center (NAC) Stage ≥II, 38% were in Columbia Stage ≥II, and the median NT-proBNP level was 1,914 (Q1-Q3: 957-3914) pg/mL. Over a median follow-up of 43.2 months (Q1-Q3: 25.2-52.8 months), 241 patients (38.6%) died. The probability of freedom from death at 65 months was 54.1% (95% CI: 47.4%-60.4%). Similarly, restricting the cohort to patients who received tafamidis within 6 months of their ATTR-CM diagnosis (n = 397, 63.6%) showed similar results, with a survival probability of 49.6% (95% CI: 37.6%-60.5%) at 65 months.
Conclusions
In a contemporary cohort of tafamidis-treated patients with ATTR-CM, 39% of patients died over a median of 43 months. Further work is needed to improve our understanding of ATTR-CM, its natural history, and how to further improve survival and prevent progression of heart failure.
期刊介绍:
JACC: CardioOncology is a specialized journal that belongs to the esteemed Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) family. Its purpose is to enhance cardiovascular care for cancer patients by publishing high-quality, innovative scientific research and sharing evidence-based knowledge.
The journal aims to revolutionize the field of cardio-oncology and actively involve and educate professionals in both cardiovascular and oncology fields. It covers a wide range of topics including pre-clinical, translational, and clinical research, as well as best practices in cardio-oncology. Key areas of focus include understanding disease mechanisms, utilizing in vitro and in vivo models, exploring novel and traditional therapeutics (across Phase I-IV trials), studying epidemiology, employing precision medicine, and investigating primary and secondary prevention.
Amyloidosis, cardiovascular risk factors, heart failure, and vascular disease are some examples of the disease states that are of particular interest to the journal. However, it welcomes research on other relevant conditions as well.
