Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is increasingly diagnosed owing to the emergence of noninvasive imaging and improved awareness. Clinical penetrance of pathogenic alleles is not complete and therefore there is a large cohort of asymptomatic transthyretin variant carriers. Screening strategies, monitoring, and treatment of subclinical ATTR-CA requires further study. Perhaps the most important translational triumph has been the development of effective therapies that have emerged from a biological understanding of ATTR-CA pathophysiology. These include recently proven strategies of transthyretin protein stabilization and silencing of transthyretin production. Data on neurohormonal blockade in ATTR-CA are limited, with the primary focus of medical therapy on judicious fluid management. Atrial fibrillation is common and requires anticoagulation owing to the propensity for thrombus formation. Although conduction disease and ventricular arrhythmias frequently occur, little is known regarding optimal management. Finally, aortic stenosis and ATTR-CA frequently coexist, and transcatheter valve replacement is the preferred treatment approach.
由于非侵入性成像技术的出现和认知度的提高,转甲状腺素蛋白心脏淀粉样变性(ATTR-CA)的诊断越来越多。致病等位基因的临床外显率并不完全,因此有大量无症状的转甲状腺素蛋白变异携带者群体。亚临床ATTR-CA的筛查策略、监测和治疗需要进一步研究。也许最重要的转化医学成果是从对ATTR-CA病理生理学的生物学理解中开发出了有效的治疗方法。这些方法包括最近被证实的转甲状腺素蛋白稳定策略和转甲状腺素蛋白产生的沉默策略。关于ATTR-CA中神经激素阻断的数据有限,药物治疗的主要重点是合理的液体管理。心房颤动很常见,由于有血栓形成倾向,需要进行抗凝治疗。虽然传导疾病和室性心律失常经常发生,但关于最佳管理知之甚少。最后,主动脉瓣狭窄和ATTR-CA经常共存,经导管瓣膜置换是首选的治疗方法。
