  • Abstract Background Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is often misdiagnosed as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Identifying ATTR-CM in patients with HCM is essential because treatment approaches vary, especially with the availability of disease-modifying therapies for ATTR-CM. In this analysis of the TTRACK study, we investigated clinical, cardiac imaging, and electrocardiogram (ECG) features of ATTR-CM that may heighten suspicion of amyloid disease and prompt further screening in patients with HCM. Purpose Explore the clinical, echocardiogram (echo), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ECG findings of patients with HCM screened for ATTR-CM in the TTRACK study. Methods In this global, multicentre, non-interventional epidemiological study, the prevalence of ATTR-CM was assessed in patients ≥50 years of age with HCM of unknown aetiology (left ventricular [LV] maximum wall thickness ≥15 mm [echo]) using 99mTc-DPD/99mTc-PYP/99mTc-HMDP-labeled bone scintigraphy. Nuclear images were graded based on cardiac vs bone radiotracer uptake following the Perugini system. Monoclonal protein testing was performed to exclude light chain amyloidosis. Results Of 766 eligible patients with scintigraphy data, 521 (68.0%) had no cardiac uptake; 37 (4.8%) had low uptake (grade 1); and 208 (27.2%) had moderate/high uptake (grade 2/3). Among patients with moderate/high uptake (cardiac amyloidosis [CA]), 137 (65.9% of patients with CA; 17.9% of the overall cohort) had confirmed ATTR-CM. Comparing NYHA classification of patients with no cardiac uptake vs those with ATTR-CM, 33.8% and 25.0% were asymptomatic (NYHA class I). Marked numerical differences were observed in some echo findings of patients with no cardiac uptake vs ATTR-CM, including mean LV mass index (155.6 vs 177.0 g/m2) and the proportions of patients with preserved apical strain (57.9% vs 74.2%) and concentric hypertrophic pattern (38.8% vs 77.8%) (Table [A]). Although a smaller percentage of patients with ATTR-CM exhibited LV outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction than patients with no cardiac uptake, 12.5% of patients with ATTR-CM had LVOT obstruction (LVOT gradient >30 mmHg). A substantially lower proportion of patients with no cardiac uptake (54.7%) had late gadolinium enhancement on MRI than those with ATTR-CM (84.6%). Notable ECG differences were seen in PR interval (179.4 vs 196.9 ms) and the proportion with poor precordial R wave progression (21.9% vs 47.9%) (Table [B]). Conclusions In the TTRACK study, conducted in the largest cohort of patients with HCM ever screened for ATTR-CM, approximately 18% of patients ≥50 years of age with HCM had findings indicative of ATTR-CM. Noteworthy differences in some clinical, cardiac imaging, and ECG findings were seen between patients with HCM with and without ATTR-CM, but none appeared to be definitive. These findings suggest that broader screening for amyloid disease with scintigraphy should be considered among all patients with HCM.
