Transthyretin Cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an increasingly recognised cause of heart failure in our elderly patients with preserved ejection fraction. Patients with ATTR-CA who require permanent pacemaker implantation often have preserved ejection fraction and do not meet the clinical indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In these patients, left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) can be a reasonable option to maximise physiological activation of the left ventricle.

Background: Either dual antiplatelet therapy or oral anticoagulation in combination with aspirin represent recommended treatment regimens following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC).

Objectives: To compare both ischemic and bleeding outcomes in patients receiving single (SAPT) or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after successful LAAC.
