Abstract
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is often associated with cardiac involvement manifesting as conduction disease as well as restrictive cardiomyopathy causing heart failure and death. Myocardial contraction fraction (MCF), the ratio of left ventricular stroke volume (SV) to myocardial volume (MV), is a volumetric measure of myocardial shortening that is superior to ejection fraction (EF) in predicting mortality in patients with primary amyloid light chain cardiac amyloidosis. We hypothesized that MCF would be an independent predictor of survival in TTR-CA. MCF was derived from 2-dimensional echocardiography-guided M-mode data for 530 subjects in the Transthyretin Amyloidosis Outcomes Survey (THAOS) database: age 61 ± 16years, 74% male, 158 wild-type (ATTRwt) and 372 mutant (ATTRm), follow-up 1.5 ± 1.7years. Using multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models, MCF <25% was highly associated with survival (hazard ratio [HR] 8.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.8-14.9,-P < .0001), which was stronger than the association of EF dichotomized at 50% (HR 2.8, 95% CI 1.8-4.4; P < .0001). MCF <25% remained significantly predictive of survival in a multivariate model that included systolic blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtr...Continue Reading
