Ultrasound Therapy In Cardiac Amyloidosis

This is a prospective pilot clinical study of subjects with cardiac amyloidosis and control subjects without amyloidosis where we plan to evaluate changes in myocardial blood flow, systolic and diastolic function before and after sonotherapy.

Parametric Cardiac 18F-flutemetamol PET Imaging in ATTR Cardiomyopathy

18F-Flutemetamol (Vizamyl) is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated and FDA-approved for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the brain to estimate β-amyloid neuritic plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other causes of cognitive decline. This study is designed to evaluate a novel use for 18F-Flutemetamol in cardiac amyloidosis.

Prevalence and Prediction of ATTR in Ambulatory Patients With HFpEF

Recent studies have shown that transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) can sometimes cause a type of heart failure where the pumping function of the heart is normal, also known as Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) or diastolic heart failure. In this single center diagnostic study, we will evaluate for ATTR in patients with HFpEF in order to to determine how frequently this occurs and how we can predict which heart failure patients may have TTR amyloidosis. Our goal is to identify amyloidosis in heart failure patients earlier so that they can start treatment.

Molecular Imaging of Primary Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

Cardiac amyloidosis is a major cause of early treatment-related death and poor overall survival in individuals with systemic light chain amyloidosis. This project will develop a novel approach to visualize cardiac amyloid deposits using advanced imaging methods. The long-term goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction, in order to guide the development of novel life-saving treatments.

Artificial Intelligence Guided Echocardiographic Screening of Rare Diseases (EchoNet-Screening)

Despite rapidly advancing developments in targeted therapeutics and genetic sequencing, persistent limits in the accuracy and throughput of clinical phenotyping has led to a widening gap between the potential and the actual benefits realized by precision medicine.

Recent advances in machine learning and image processing techniques have shown that machine learning models can identify features unrecognized by human experts and more precisely/accurately assess common measurements made in clinical practice.

Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Tafamidis in Patients With Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis Post Orthotopic Heart Transplantation

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a relentlessly progressive disease that can progress to end stage heart failure, at which point recently approved transthyretin production silencing or structure stabilizing therapies provide no clinical benefit. For well-selected individuals, heart transplantation is an excellent therapeutic option to improve survival.

Dietary Reporting in the Amyloidoses

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about malnutrition and weight loss in patients with Amyloidosis.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Is it feasible to use a low-cost nutrition-based application (apps) for use on a smartphone to obtain detailed information on caloric intake in Amyloidosis patients

Participants will be asked to:

ConTTRibute: A Global Observational Study of Patients With Transthyretin (TTR)-Mediated Amyloidosis (ATTR Amyloidosis)

The purpose of this study is to:

* Describe epidemiological and clinical characteristics, natural history and real-world clinical management of ATTR amyloidosis patients
* Characterize the safety and effectiveness of patisiran and vutrisiran as part of routine clinical practice in the real-world clinical setting
* Describe disease emergence/progression in pre-symptomatic carriers of a known disease-causing transthyretin (TTR) variant

Analysis of Lumbar Spine Stenosis Specimens for Identification of Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis

Primary objective:

To identify older adults with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) early in the course of the illness, at a time when disease modifying therapies are most effective.

The specific aims of this epidemiologic investigation include:

1. To identify subjects with previous lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) Surgery who have evidence of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid deposits in spinal specimens and could be at risk for ATTR cardiac amyloidosis.
2. To evaluate for ATTR-CA among those with localized TTR in the spinal tissue.
