DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2019.07.080
Abstract: Introduction Deposition of wild type or mutant transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibrils causes TTR cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA). Targeted therapeutics (TT) for ATTR-CA include TTR stabilizers (tafamidis, dilfunisal) and oligonucleotide drugs (Revusiran, Patisiran and Inotersen).TTR stabilizers prevent… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background/Introduction Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is associated with an increased incidence of arrhythmias. We hypothesized that non-invasive, two-week outpatient cardiac rhythm monitoring of patients with ATTR-CA would… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13023-021-01706-7
Abstract: Background Transthyretin amyloidosis, or ATTR, is a progressive and debilitating rare proteopathy generally manifested as either transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN) or transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Irrespective of the clinical presentation, affected patients manage a chronic… read more here.
