It has been reported that a staging system combining N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide and high‐sensitivity troponin T (hs‐cTnT) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is useful in patients with wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM). However, these studies were mainly conducted in Western countries, and their usefulness for the Japanese population is unclear. We examined and validated the staging system using hs‐cTnT, eGFR, and B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in Japanese patients with ATTRwt‐CM.
