Article Synopsis
- Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a serious heart condition that can progress at different rates among patients, making it hard to track disease advancement.
- This study analyzed the significance of rising levels of NT-proBNP and increased need for diuretics as predictors of worsening heart function over one year in a large sample of ATTR-CA patients.
- Results showed that increases in NT-proBNP and diuretic use were both strongly linked to increased mortality risk, highlighting the importance of these markers for monitoring patients' health outcomes.
