Article Synopsis
- Hereditary transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (hATTR-CM) due to the TTR V122I variant causes heart failure, particularly in older individuals of African ancestry, but its clinical impacts in other populations remain unclear.
- The objective of the study was to explore the link between the TTR V122I variant and heart failure, while also examining how often carriers of the variant are diagnosed with hATTR-CM.
- The study involved a large analysis of individuals enrolled in biobanks, revealing that 3.1% of those studied were TTR V122I carriers and that 30% had heart failure, highlighting a significant issue regarding diagnosis rates among these carriers.
Objective: Minimal data are available regarding the long-term mortality risk of subclinical atherosclerosis using coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring among patients with a family history (FH) of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present analysis was to assess the prognostic utility of CAC scoring among cohorts of young and older patients with and without a FH of CAD.
Methods: A total of 9715 consecutive asymptomatic patients, free of known CAD, underwent CAC scoring for cardiovascular risk assessment.
Objectives: The aim of the current analysis was to compare sex differences in the prognostic accuracy of stress myocardial perfusion rubidum-82 (Rb-82) positron emission tomography (PET).
Background: The diagnostic evaluation of women presenting with suspected cardiac symptoms is challenging with reported reduced accuracy, attenuation artifact, and more recent concerns regarding radiation safety. Stress myocardial perfusion Rb-82 PET is a diagnostic alternative with improved image quality and radiation dosimetry.
We measured virologic suppression among 34 nevirapine (NVP)-exposed HIV-infected children with median age of 8.6 months (range: 3.2-19.
