Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to validate the Amylo-AFFECT-QOL questionnaire to measure health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA), as no specific questionnaire existed for this condition.
- It involved 515 patients, primarily those diagnosed with CA, and showed that the Amylo-AFFECT-QOL scores significantly correlated with established HR-QoL assessments, indicating its reliability.
- Findings revealed that those with cardiac amyloidosis had worse HR-QoL scores compared to other conditions, and higher scores were associated with increased mortality or heart transplant risk after one year.
