Human Myocardial Mitochondrial Function is Impaired in Cardiac Light Chain Amyloidosis but Not in Transthyretin Amyloidosis
Purpose: Cardiac amyloidosis is a common cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and increasingly recognized since new diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic approaches were established during recent years. Mitochondrial dysfunction is known to play a key role in different etiologies of human heart failure but its role in cardiac amyloidosis remains unclear. Here we investigated myocardial mitochondrial function in endomyocardial biopsies from humans with different types of cardiac amyloidosis. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Real life experience of tafamidis for the treatment of Spanish patients with Val30Met transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy
CONCLUSIONS: Our results reinforce the tafamidis efficacy to treat A-ATTRv-PNP if started early in the disease course. Patients with the V30M variant, NIS<15 and PND I are the most appropriate subjects for this treatment.PMID:38556397 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2024.01.008 (Source: Medicina Clinica)
