Acoramidis improves outcomes in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) compared with placebo, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023. 1 ATTR-CM is a rare, progressive, and fatal disease characterised by the accumulation of misfolded transthyretin protein in the heart. It causes an infiltrative, restrictive cardiomyopathy resulting in clinical heart failure, usually with preserved ejection fraction. Previously, the ATTR-ACT trial of tafamidis in ATTR-CM demonstrated a reduction in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular-related hospitalisation and declines in functional capacity by 6 minute walk distance (6MWD) and quality of life assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score (KCCQ-OS), as compared with placebo.
