    Abstract Background: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) represents a comprehensive functional assessment that is commonly used in patients with heart failure; however, data are lacking in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA).
    Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prognostic importance of the 6MWT in patients with ATTR-CA.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with ATTR-CA at the National Amyloidosis Centre who underwent a baseline 6MWT between 2011 and 2023 identified 2,141 patients, of whom 1,118 had follow-up at 1 year.
    Results: The median baseline 6MWT distance was 347 m (Q1-Q3: 250-428 m) and analysis by quartiles demonstrated an increased death rate with each distance reduction (deaths per 100 person-years: 6.3 vs 9.2 vs 13.6 vs 19.0; log-rank P < 0.001). A 6MWT distance of <350 m was associated with a 2.2-fold higher risk of mortality (HR: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.85-2.50; P < 0.001), with a similar increased risk across National Amyloidosis Centre disease stages (P for interaction = 0.761) and genotypes (P for interaction = 0.172). An absolute (reduction of >35 m) and relative worsening (reduction of >5%) of 6MWT at 1 year was associated with an increased risk of mortality (HR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.51-2.15; P < 0.001 and HR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.59-2.24; P < 0.001, respectively), which was similar across the aforementioned subgroups. When combined with established measures of disease progression (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide progression and outpatient diuretic intensification), each incremental increase in progression markers was associated with an increased death rate (deaths per 100 person-years: 7.6 vs 13.9 vs 22.4 vs 32.9; log-rank P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The baseline 6MWT distance can refine risk stratification beyond traditional prognosticators. A worsening 6MWT distance can stratify disease progression and, when combined with established markers, identifies patients at the highest risk of mortality.

    Abstract Background: Apo AI amyloidosis (AApoAI) and Apo AIV amyloidosis (AApoAIV) are rare but increasingly recognized causes of cardiac amyloidosis (CA). We sought to define the cardiac phenotype in AApoAI and AApoAIV using multimodality imaging.
    Methods: We identified all patients with AApoAI and AApoAIV assessed at our center between 2000 and 2021, and 2 cohorts of patients with immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL) and transthyretin amyloidosis matched for age, sex, and cardiac involvement.
    Results: Forty-five patients had AApoAI, 13 (29%) of whom had cardiac involvement, 32 (71%) renal involvement, 28 (62%) splenic involvement, 27 (60%) hepatic involvement, and 7 (16%) laryngeal involvement. AApoAI-CA commonly presented with heart failure (n=8, 62%) or dysphonia (n=7, 54%). The Arg173Pro variant universally caused cardiac and laryngeal involvement (n=7, 100%). AApoAI-CA was associated with right-sided involvement, with a thicker right ventricular free wall (8.6±1.9 versus 6.3±1.3 mm versus 7.7±1.2 mm,
    Conclusions: Dysphonia, multisystem involvement, or right-sided cardiac disease should raise suspicion of AApoAI-CA. AApoAIV-CA presents most commonly with heart failure and always displays classical CA imaging features, mimicking common forms of CA. Both AApoAI and AApoAIV are associated with a good prognosis and a lower risk of mortality than matched patients with AL-amyloidosis.

    Abstract Abstract: Amyloidogenic serum free light chains (sFLCs) drive disease progression in AL amyloidosis. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry-based FLC assay (FLC-MS) has greater sensitivity than conventional sFLC assays allowing for the detection of serological residual disease. We report the utility of FLC-MS in a large series of patients with AL amyloidosis assessing the impact of FLC-MS negativity after treatment on overall survival (OS) and organ response rates. Serum samples were analyzed using FLC-MS at diagnosis and at 6 and 12 months after treatment. The impact of FLC-MS negativity over standard hematologic responses on survival and organ response was assessed. A total of 487 patients were included; 290 (59%) and 349 (71.5%) had cardiac and renal involvement, respectively. There was 100% concordance between the light chain (LC) fibril type and LC isotype identified by FLC-MS. At 6 and 12 months, 81 (16.6%) and 101 (20.7%) were FLC-MS negative. Of those achieving a conventional hematologic complete response (CR) at 6 and 12 months, 45 (27.7%) and 64 (39%) were FLC-MS negative. At 12 months, median OS for CR + FLC-MS negative was not reached vs 108 months in CR + FLC-MS positive (P = .024). At 12 months, 70% of patients with FLC-MS negativity (vs 50% FLC-MS positive) achieved a cardiac response (P = .015). In a multivariate analysis, FLC-MS negativity at 12 months was an independent predictor of better outcomes. FLC-MS can detect persistent monoclonal light chains in a significant proportion of patients in a conventional hematologic CR. FLC-MS assessment promises to be a new standard for response assessment in AL amyloidosis.

    Abstract Importance: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has an established role in the assessment of patients with heart failure. However, data are lacking in patients with transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis.
    Objective: To use CPET to characterize the spectrum of functional phenotypes in patients with ATTR amyloidosis and assess their association with the cardiac amyloid burden as well as the association between CPET parameters and prognosis.
    Design, setting and participants: This single-center study evaluated patients diagnosed with ATTR amyloidosis from May 2019 to September 2022 who underwent CPET at the National Amyloidosis Centre. Of 1045 patients approached, 506 were included and completed the study. Patients were excluded if they had an absolute contraindication to CPET or declined participation. The mean (SD) follow-up period was 22.4 (11.6) months.
    Main outcomes and measures: Comparison of CPET parameters across disease phenotypes (ATTR with cardiomyopathy [ATTR-CM], polyneuropathy, or both [ATTR-mixed]), differences in CPET parameters based on degree of amyloid infiltration (as measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance [CMR] with extracellular volume mapping), and association between CPET parameters and prognosis.
    Results: Among the 506 patients with ATTR amyloidosis included in this study, the mean (SD) age was 73.5 (10.2) years, and 457 participants (90.3%) were male. Impairment in functional capacity was highly prevalent. Functional impairment in ATTR-CM and ATTR-mixed phenotypes (peak mean [SD] oxygen consumption [VO2], 14.5 [4.3] mL/kg/min and 15.7 [6.2] mL/kg/min, respectively) was observed alongside impairment in the oxygen pulse, with ventilatory efficiency highest in ATTR-CM (mean [SD] ventilatory efficiency/volume of carbon dioxide expired slope, 38.1 [8.6]). Chronotropic incompetence and exercise oscillatory ventilation (EOV) were highly prevalent across all phenotypes, with both the prevalence and severity being higher than in heart failure from different etiologies. Worsening of amyloid burden on CMR was associated with decline in multiple CPET parameters, although chronotropic response and EOV remained abnormal irrespective of amyloid burden. On multivariable Cox regression analysis, peak VO2 and peak systolic blood pressure (SBP) were independently associated with prognosis (peak VO2: hazard ratio, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.81-0.99; P = .03]; peak SBP: hazard ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.97-0.99; P < .001]).
    Conclusions and relevance: In this study, ATTR amyloidosis was characterized by distinct patterns of functional impairment between all disease phenotypes. A high prevalence of chronotropic incompetence, EOV, and ventilatory inefficiency were characteristic of this population. CPET parameters were associated with amyloid burden by CMR and with peak VO2, and SBP, which have been shown to be independent predictors of mortality. These findings suggest that CPET may be useful in characterizing distinct patterns of functional impairment across the spectrum of amyloid infiltration and predicting outcomes, and potentially offers a more comprehensive method of evaluating functional capacity for future prospective studies.

    Abstract Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a progressive and ultimately fatal cardiomyopathy. Biomarkers reflecting multiorgan dysfunction are of increasing importance in patients with heart failure; however, their significance in ATTR-CA remains largely unknown. The aims of this study were to characterize the multifaceted nature of ATTR-CA using blood biomarkers and assess the association between blood biomarkers and prognosis.
    Methods and results: This is a retrospective cohort study of 2566 consecutive patients diagnosed with ATTR-CA between 2007 and 2023. Anemia (39%), high urea (52%), hyperbilirubinemia (18%), increased alkaline phosphatase (16%), increased CRP (C-reactive protein; 27%), and increased troponin (98.2%) were common findings in the overall population, whereas hyponatremia (6%) and hypoalbuminemia (2%) were less common. These abnormalities were most common in patients with p.(V142I) hereditary ATTR-CA, and became more prevalent as the severity of cardiac disease increased. Multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated that anemia (hazard ratio [HR], 1.19 [95% CI, 1.04-1.37];
    Conclusions: Cardiac and noncardiac biomarker abnormalities were common and reflect the complex and multifaceted nature of ATTR-CA, with a wide range of biomarkers remaining independently associated with mortality. Clinical trials are needed to investigate whether biomarker abnormalities represent modifiable risk factors that if specifically targeted could improve outcomes.

    Abstract Aims: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy that commonly presents with concomitant chronic kidney disease. Albuminuria is common in heart failure and associated with worse outcomes, but its prevalence and relationship to outcome in ATTR-CA remains unclear.
    Methods and results: A total of 1181 patients with ATTR-CA were studied (mean age 78.1 ± 7.9 years; 1022 [86.5%] male; median estimated glomerular filtration rate 59 ml/min/1.73m
    Conclusions: Albuminuria is common in patients with ATTR-CA, and more prevalent in those with a more severe cardiac phenotype. Albuminuria at diagnosis and a significant increase in UACR during follow-up are associated with mortality.

    Abstract Inotersen is an antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor licensed for the treatment of polyneuropathy complicating hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv). Nephrotoxicity has been reported with inotersen, including progression to kidney failure. We describe what is to our knowledge the first reported case of inotersen-associated nephrotic syndrome secondary to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and review the literature concerning inotersen-induced nephrotoxicity. We report a woman in her early 30s with ATTRv associated with the V50M transthyretin (TTR) variant, who presented with nephrotic syndrome 7 months after commencement of inotersen. Renal histology demonstrated FSGS and scanty glomerular amyloid deposition. Discontinuation of inotersen alone resulted in complete clinical and biochemical resolution of nephrotic syndrome. Inotersen is associated with significant nephrotoxicity. In the phase 3 NEURO-TTR clinical trial, 3% of patients in the treatment arm developed a crescentic glomerulonephritis. All affected patients carried the V50M TTR variant, which is known to be associated with renal amyloid deposition. This case adds to the spectrum of kidney disease associated with inotersen and indicates that discontinuation of the drug alone may result in resolution of renal complications without additional immunosuppression. Monitoring of kidney function is essential in patients with ATTRv receiving inotersen, particularly if there is evidence of existing renal amyloid.

    Abstract Importance: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging-derived extracellular volume (ECV) mapping, generated from precontrast and postcontrast T1, accurately determines treatment response in cardiac light-chain amyloidosis. Native T1 mapping, which can be derived without the need for contrast, has demonstrated accuracy in diagnosis and prognostication, but it is unclear whether serial native T1 measurements could also track the cardiac treatment response.
    Objective: To assess whether native T1 mapping can measure the cardiac treatment response and the association between changes in native T1 and prognosis.
    Design, setting, and participants: This single-center cohort study evaluated patients diagnosed with cardiac light-chain amyloidosis (January 2016 to December 2020) who underwent CMR scans at diagnosis and a repeat scan following chemotherapy. Analysis took place between January 2016 and October 2022.
    Main outcomes and measures: Comparison of biomarkers and cardiac imaging parameters between patients with a reduced, stable, or increased native T1 and association between changes in native T1 and mortality.
    Results: The study comprised 221 patients (mean [SD] age, 64.7 [10.6] years; 130 male [59%]). At 6 months, 183 patients (mean [SD] age, 64.8 [10.5] years; 110 male [60%]) underwent repeat CMR imaging. Reduced native T1 of 50 milliseconds or more occurred in 8 patients (4%), all of whom had a good hematological response; by contrast, an increased native T1 of 50 milliseconds or more occurred in 42 patients (23%), most of whom had a poor hematological response (27 [68%]). At 12 months, 160 patients (mean [SD] age, 63.8 [11.1] years; 94 male [59%]) had a repeat CMR scan. A reduced native T1 occurred in 24 patients (15%), all of whom had a good hematological response, and was associated with a reduction in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (median [IQR], 2638 [913-5767] vs 423 [128-1777] ng/L; P < .001), maximal wall thickness (mean [SD], 14.8 [3.6] vs 13.6 [3.9] mm; P = .009), and E/e' (mean [SD], 14.9 [6.8] vs 12.0 [4.0]; P = .007), improved longitudinal strain (mean [SD], -14.8% [4.0%] vs -16.7% [4.0%]; P = .004), and reduction in both myocardial T2 (mean [SD], 52.3 [2.9] vs 49.4 [2.0] milliseconds; P < .001) and ECV (mean [SD], 0.47 [0.07] vs 0.42 [0.08]; P < .001). At 12 months, an increased native T1 occurred in 24 patients (15%), most of whom had a poor hematological response (17 [71%]), and was associated with an increased N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (median [IQR], 1622 [554-5487] vs 3150 [1161-8745] ng/L; P = .007), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (mean [SD], 65.8% [11.4%] vs 61.5% [12.4%]; P = .009), and an increase in both myocardial T2 (mean [SD], 52.5 [2.7] vs 55.3 [4.2] milliseconds; P < .001) and ECV (mean [SD], 0.48 [0.09] vs 0.56 [0.09]; P < .001). Change in myocardial native T1 at 6 months was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.36-4.27]; P = .003).
    Conclusions and relevance: Changes in native T1 in response to treatment, reflecting a composite of changes in T2 and ECV, are associated with in changes in traditional markers of cardiac response and associated with mortality. However, as a single-center study, these results require external validation in a larger cohort.

    Abstract Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a progressive cardiomyopathy. The clinical course varies among individuals and there are no established measures to assess disease progression.
    Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the prognostic importance of an increase in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and outpatient diuretic intensification (ODI) as markers of disease progression in a large cohort of patients with ATTR-CA.
    Methods: We evaluated landmark survival analysis based on worsening of NT-proBNP and requirement for ODI between time of diagnosis and a 1-year visit, and subsequent mortality in 2,275 patients with ATTR-CA from 7 specialist centers. The variables were developed in the National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) cohort (n = 1,598) and validated in the external cohort from the remaining centers (n = 677).
    Results: Between baseline and 1-year visits, 551 (34.5%) NAC patients and 204 (30.1%) patients in the external validation cohort experienced NT-proBNP progression (NT-proBNP increase >700 ng/L and >30%), which was associated with mortality (NAC cohort: HR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.57-2.10; P < 0.001; validation cohort: HR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.32-2.33; P < 0.001). At 1 year, 451 (28.2%) NAC patients and 301 (44.5%) patients in the external validation cohort experienced ODI, which was associated with mortality (NAC cohort: HR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.62-2.18; P < 0.001; validation cohort: HR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.53-2.74; P < 0.001). When compared with patients with a stable NT-proBNP and stable diuretic dose, a higher risk of mortality was observed in those experiencing either NT-proBNP progression or ODI (NAC cohort: HR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.65-2.27; P < 0.001; validation cohort: HR: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.36-2.77; P < 0.001), and those experiencing both NT-proBNP progression and ODI (NAC cohort: HR: 2.98; 95% CI: 2.42-3.67; P < 0.001; validation cohort: HR: 3.23; 95% CI: 2.17-4.79; P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: NT-proBNP progression and ODI are frequent and consistently associated with an increased risk of mortality. Combining both variables produces a simple, universally applicable model that detects disease progression in ATTR-CA.
