Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis of ATTR-CA by meeting both of the following 1 and 2 1. Tc-99m pyrophosphate scintigraphy meeting the criteria of visual score >= 2 at 1 hour or 3 hours. 2. 2. No M protein detected by serum immunofixation, abnormal serum free light chain kappa/lambda ratio (1.65), or urine immunofixation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| i) Event rate (all-cause mortality, heart failure rehospitalization, thromboembolism, and new cardiac conduction defects) within 1 year from the date of Tc-99m pyrophosphate scintigraphy in ATTR-CA patients compared to non-ATTR-CA HFp/mrEF patients. ii) Biomarker profiles (high-sensitivity troponin, NT-proBNP, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, albumin, prealbumin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) and patient background factors in ATTR-CA patients compared to non-ATTR-CA patients with HFp/mrEF. iii) Comparison of exercise tolerance assessment by cardiopulmonary exercise test in ATTR-CA patients compared with non-ATTR-CA patients with HFp/mrEF iv) Comparison of 6-minute walk in ATTR-CA patients compared with non-ATTR-CA HFp/mrEF patients. v) Comparison of angiographic findings of coronary arteries in ATTR-CA patients compared with non-ATTR-CA patients with HFp/mrEF vi) Comparison of pressure data achieved by right heart catheter in ATTR-CA patients compared to non-ATTR-CA HFp/mrEF patients | — |
