Summary

The COVID 💉 is comprised of mRNA encased in a lipid nanoparticle.
The mRNA is codon optimized with n1-methy-pseudoU and codes for a more durable spike protein.
It also contains dsDNA bacterial contaminants and an SV40 promoter.

La FA es la arritmia mas común en #Amyloidosis #Cardiaca ya que existe una predisposición en el depósito de fibras amyloides en el atrio y en adición a un aumento de las presiones intra-atriales, resultando una dilatación.

Un 33% de estos pacientes presentaron trombo intracardiaco en autopsias, con un riesgo elevado de #shock cardiogenico.
El tratamiento es poco tolerada, ya que pueden provocar un estado de bajo gasto cardiaco y deterioro hemodinámico, por la fisiología restrictiva de la #AC

What do we really know about efficacy of furosemide vs torsemide?

I am sure @robmentz and team have something to say about this 👊🏾

🚩AL & MM - Transcriptional patterns link common causal root with differing behaviours

➡️Light-chain amyloidosis (AL) and multiple myeloma (MM), are plasma cell (PC) malignancies with strikingly different clinical presentations 🥼🩺

Preclinical and phase I data for $AKCA-TTR-LRx (second generation inotersen, ASO conjugated with GalNAc), currently being tested in CARDIO-TTRansform, the largest #ATTR #Amyloidosis trial to date. Tafamidis allowed without restrictions.

Cojugation with GalNAc increased potency by 20-30x, allowing lower dose, lower frequency, less AE

#ISA2020 Yesterday: Plenery Session on Diagnosis and Management of AL #amyloidosis chaired by @awechalekar and Stefan Schönland. Here is my take home message @AmyloidosisSupp @Amyloidosisfdn @Amyloidosis_ARC @AmyloidC @MayoAmyloid @amyloid_papers
@ADispenzieri talked about Diagnosis and work-up. Fat pad biopsy and bone marrow biopsy are able to determine the diagnosis of AL in 50-79%. In those cases an organ biospy is not necessary
@ADispenzieri at #ISA2020: 10 % of patients with Congo Red+ amyloid detection have TTR Amyloidosis and elevated FLC--> you need to determine the diagnosis by mass spec or IHC

There are many new exciting trials in transthyretin #amyloidosis – as we continue to enroll patients in the CARDIO-TTRansform trial, I thought I would highlight some of these trials in ATTR-CM

clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04…

#cardiotwitter Image
If you recall, 2 main approaches to treating ATTR #amyloidosis with approved drugs (figure credit @frederickruberg @maz_hanna )
1)Stabilizers: bind to the TTR tetramer to stabilize it. #tafamidis , AG-10, diflunisal
2)Silencers: Inotersen and Patisiran Image
tafamidis is prescribed to ATTR-CM pts & inotersen/patisiran for those with hATTR polyneuropathy
But – 2 main questions in ATTR-CM
1)Which is associated with better outcomes – silencer or stabilizer?
2)Is the combination of silencer+stabilizer superior to stabilizer only?

Sorry @venkmurthy @onco_cardiology @IbrahimMSaeed1 and others but #WhyCMR is not on this algorithm. Though, it is used frequently as a “catch all” diagnostic test for various cardiomyopathies.

I use cardiac MRI frequently for non-invasive evaluation in AL. Still, you will need biopsy proof of amyloid somewhere in the body before most hematologists will treat.

SPECIAL POPULATIONS

Aortic stenosis: ATTR and AS coexist in the elderly. Common cause of LFLG AS. We have described this @maz_hanna @ClevelandClinic as well as @JoaoLCavalcante, NAC, Columbia, +more. 16% of TAVRs and 30% of LFLG AS with EF<50% may have ATTR.
