Tafamidis is the only currently available disease-modifying agent for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM); however, reports on its long-term efficacy, safety, and longitudinal cardiac parameter outcomes are lacking. Herein, we present 2 cases of wild-type ATTR-CM receiving tafamidis for 9 years, in which serial long-term follow-up data were obtained. In both cases, tafamidis treatment was continued without any adverse effects, and no hospitalization due to heart failure occurred. Notably, longitudinal observation revealed sustained inhibition of deterioration in cardiac biomarkers, left ventricular function, and hypertrophy during approximately a decade of tafamidis treatment. This case series suggests that tafamidis has the potential to sustainably delay progression of ATTR-CM.
他法米地是目前唯一可用于转甲状腺素蛋白淀粉样心肌病(ATTR-CM)的疾病修饰药物;然而,关于其长期疗效、安全性和心脏参数纵向结果的报告尚缺。在此,我们报告2例野生型ATTR-CM患者接受他法米地治疗9年的情况,其中获得了系列长期随访数据。在这2例患者中,他法米地治疗持续进行且无任何不良反应,未因心力衰竭住院。值得注意的是,纵向观察显示,在他法米地治疗约十年期间,心脏生物标志物、左心室功能和心肌肥厚的恶化受到持续抑制。该病例系列表明,他法米地有可能可持续延缓ATTR-CM的进展。
