ASNC Announces Multisocietal Cardiac Amyloidosis Imaging Consensus

September 9, the American Heart (AHA), the European Nuclear (EANM), the Society Amyloidosis (ISA), the Society Nuclear Molecular Imaging (SNMMI). Emerging imaging methods have ASNC Announces Multisocietal earlier diagnosis improved prognostication with new treatment options. The diagnostic criteria for.

Researchers at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), in collaboration with Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), are leading a national, multi-site study aimed to achieve earlier diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM). The National Institutes of Health has awarded a five-year, $7. 2M grant to fund the Screening for Cardiac Amyloidosis with Nuclear Imaging in Minority Populations (SCAN-MP) trial. Led by co-principal investigators Frederick L. Ruberg, MD at BMC/BUSM's Amyloidosis Center of Excellence and Mathew S. Maurer, MD from CUIMC's Cardiac Amyloidosis cardiac amyloid Program, the grant will enable the establishment of an important, community-based cohort of older minority patients with congestive heart failure. A total of 800 participants will be recruited from BMC/BUSM in Boston and the CUIMC, NYP-Allen and Harlem Hospitals in New York City. Since ATTR cardiac amyloidosis is underdiagnosed, the investigators will test the hypothesis that utilization of highly sensitive heart imaging and blood tests can potentially help to diagnose this disease earlier, which means patients could be treated earlier in the disease progression, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.

“ATTR is rare, life-threatening disease encompassing hereditary (hATTR) wild-type (wtATTR) ASNC releases multisocietal amyloidosis. Based encouraging exploratory results cardiac endpoints APOLLO study,” said Green, TTR Program. initiation APOLLO-B represents significant milestone our explore full patisiran for patients all types amyloidosis. ” Patisiran is drug name for ONPATTRO®. It is approved by U. S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment polyneuropathy hATTR adults. ONPATTRO is also approved European Union, APOLLO-B Study The APOLLO-B trial is randomized, Study aims to multicenter global study designed evaluate efficacy patisiran approximately adult patients (hereditary or wild type) cardiomyopathy.
