About this study

Official title: Aortic Stenosis and Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Pragmatic, Streamlined International

The dual pathology of aortic stenosis (AS) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is increasingly recognized. Even tough efforts have been undertaken to bring cohorts together, the largest cohort of AS-ATTR to date is <50 patients. It is the aim of the present international, multi-center registry to collect ~300 patients with AS-CA creating a big enough cohort to allow

  1. thorough characterization of this condition
  2. assessment of log-term clinical outcomes of AS-CA
  3. assessment of effectiveness of amyloid-specific treatment on top of valve replacement
Read the detailed description

Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) and transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis are both conditions commonly affecting the elderly. Bone scintigraphy using amyloid-avid tracers (99mTc-3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid, DPD; 99mTc-pyrophosphate; or 99mTc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate) represents the key imaging modality for non-invasive ATTR diagnosis. Recent studies have used this technology to screen AS patients and demonstrated that AS and ATTR may coexist in 8 to 16%. This is substantially higher than in non-cardiac referrals for bone scintigraphy (range 1-3% in individuals >80 years), which is considered the most accurate approach to estimate the ATTR prevalence in the general population. While the dual burden of AS and ATTR might suggest adverse prognostic implications, it has been shown that AS-ATTR and lone AS patients benefit equally from transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with comparable 1- and 2-year survival rates. Yet, data on long-term outcomes are still missing.

With increased recognition and valvular treatment of AS-ATTR, the disease course after TAVR becomes a key issue. Our data suggest significantly different remodeling between lone AS and AS-ATTR, with the latter being transformed into a "lone-ATTR" cardiomyopathy phenotype at one-year post-TAVR. Novel ATTR-specific treatments are now available, with the potential to further improve prognosis in AS-ATTR on top of valvular replacement. However, patients with significant AS were not included in the ATTR-ACT trial, and treatment effectiveness in this patient population therefore remains unclear. Also, despite increased ATTR screening globally, the case numbers for dual AS-ATTR of individual centers are still low.

The present international multi-center study is therefore designed to provide detailed characterization of dual AS-ATTR, inform about long-term clinical outcomes and assess the effect of ATTR specific treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Phenotyping of AS with "early" ATTR infiltration (DPD grade 1) versus "advanced" ATTR cardiomyopathy (DPD grade 2/3)

    Dual pathology patients with DPD grade 1 will be compared to those with DPD grade 2/3 with regards to symptoms (New York Heart Association functional class), functional capacity (6-Minute walk distance), biomarkers (NT-proBNP and high-sensitive Troponin), and imaging markers on transthoracic echocardiography (e.g., left ventricular ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain, stroke volume index, left ventricular mass). Differences between groups for all of these variables will be analyzed with the Wilcoxon rank sum test.

    Measured: 0 months

  2. All cause mortality in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    All-cause mortality analyzed by Cox regression analysis and Kaplan Meier estimates in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Measured: 60 months

  3. Hospitalization for heart failure in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Hospitalization for heart failure analyzed by Cox regression analysis and Kaplan Meier estimates in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Measured: 60 months

  4. Cardiovascular mortality in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Cardiovascular mortality analyzed by Cox regression analysis and Kaplan Meier estimates in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Measured: 60 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Natural history of AS-ATTR after valve replacement

    Trajectory of morphological (left ventricular mass), functional (ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain, New York Heart Association class) and biomarker (NT-proBNP, high-sensitive Troponin) profiles. Longitudinal changes between visits will be compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, McNemar's test, and the Stuart Maxwell test where appropriate.

    Measured: 60 months

  2. Composite of hospitalization for heart failure and/or death in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Composite of hospitalization for heart failure and/or death analyzed by Cox regression analysis and Kaplan Meier estimates in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Measured: 60 months

  3. Heart failure hospitalzation rate in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment

    Differences in heart failure hospitalization rate, calculated as the number of heart failure hospitalizations per total person-years in AS-CA with versus without CA-specific treatment at 1 and 3 years, analyzed by the poisson model.

    Measured: 36 months
