Overview

Stay up to date with the latest clinical evidence in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) with this video series spotlighting key cardiomyopathy updates presented at ESC Heart Failure Congress (HFA) 2026

 

In the first session, Dr Mathew Maurer (Columbia University, New York, US) takes a deep dive into the CARDIO-TTRansform data, exploring the current treatment landscape and ongoing unmet needs in ATTR-CM. He reviews existing silencer therapy data and examines the CARDIO-TTRansform study design and baseline population in greater detail, highlighting how these findings may influence future management strategies.

 

In the second part, Dr Maurer is joined by Dr Margot Davis (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, CA) for an expert peer-to-peer discussion placing the data into broader clinical context. Together, they explore:

 

  • The potential impact of CARDIO-TTRansform on future clinical practice
  • The evolving treatment landscape for silencer therapies in ATTR-CM
  • Mechanistic differences between emerging silencer approaches
  • Remaining unmet needs and gaps in current guideline recommendations
  • The role of real-world evidence in shaping future practice

Whether you are looking for a detailed review of the data or an understanding of clinical perspectives, this series provides valuable insight into the latest developments in ATTR-CM and their relevance to patient care.

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recall unique trial design features of CARDIO-TTRansform including NT-proBNP criteria, open-label concomitant stabiliser use, and primary endpoint
  • Describe key patient baseline results of the CARDIO-TTRansform population including number of participants, proportion already on stabiliser therapy and proportion of participants with V122I genotype
  • Compare baseline characteritics with other contemporary ATTR RCTs
  • Describe the severity of heart failure and ATTR-CM severity at baseline in the context of other ATTR RCTs

Target Audience

  • Heart Failure Specialists
  • Cardiologists
  • Nephrologists

Il tafamidir è dimostrato essere essenziale nelle cardiopatie amioliode con ottimi risultati raggiunto.La terapia con silenziatori Ttr risulta assai efficace nelle cardiopatie con insufficienza cardiaca. Maestro Luigi Gargarelli della ANMB.
