Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a serious, underrecognized condition, which leads to heart failure and early mortality if left untreated. Until recently, transplantation was the only treatment for ATTR-CM. Regulatory approval of tafamidis transformed patients. In phase 3 Amyloidosis Cardiomyopathy Clinical Trial (ATTR-ACT), established safety efficacy tafamidis, medication adherence high with 97.2% patients taking ≥80% scheduled doses. Evidence real-world cardiology drugs...
