Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the significance of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) anomalies in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA), focusing on their prevalence and prognostic value.
- It includes 284 patients, finding that high LSM was observed in 15% of hereditary ATTR and 38% of wild-type ATTR cases, particularly linked to advanced disease stages.
- High LSM correlates with a higher risk of hospitalizations for heart failure and improves patient survival estimates when combined with NT-proBNP levels and kidney function metrics.
