HFpEF
  • 17% incidence of ATTRwt myocardial deposits found during autopsies of older patients with HFpEF (40% in those ≥80 years at diagnosis)1
  • 13% of hospitalized older patients with HFpEF with LV wall thickness ≥12 mm were found to have ATTR-CM2
  • 10% of HFpEF clinic referrals (Johns Hopkins) had biopsy-proven ATTR-CM3
 
AORTIC STENOSIS
  • 6% of patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing surgical valve replacement had ATTR-CM4
  • In patients aged >65 years referred for TAVR, 16% overall and 22% of men had ATTR-CM5
