🔴How prevalent is cardiac amyloidosis and which patients should be screened? Christian Nitsche European Society of Cardiology Journals #CardioEd #Cardiology #amyloidosis



Multiorgan blood biomarker abnormalities are common and associated with mortality in ATTR-CA. #AHAJournals Adam Ioannou ahajrnls.org/3wrNr9A


#Cardiacamyloidosis is a serious disease in which abnormal proteins accumulate in the #heart muscle and affect heart function. A team led by #MedUniVienna has now developed an #AI system that can automatically detect cardiac amyloidosis. ➡ bit.ly/3TINI1c The Lancet


Delighted to share our work on AI-based detection of cardiac amyloidosis on bone scintigraphy scans. ✅Removes interrater variability ✅Works across all amyloid tracers ✅Predicts outcome MedUni Wien Kardiologie MedUni Wien Forschung @CardiacImaging_BartsHeartCentre The Lancet Digital Health thelancet.com/journals/landi…

EASE-TAVR RCT: Targeted Management of Fluid Overload in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis Undergoing TAVR ✅️ improves clinical outcomes ✅️ improves quality of life #Cardiology #Valve JACC Journals Andreas Kammerlander Philipp E. Bartko heitzinn


#JACCINT is proud to honor Dr. Christian Nitsche w/ the Spencer King Award for Outstanding Scholarship for his groundbreaking research on managing fluid overload in pts w/ severe AS (EASE-TAVR)! 🎉 📎: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #ACC25 #TheFaceOfCardiology #TAVR #vhdAS Christian Nitsche


2/3_👥 N=226 (mean age 85) 🔹 71% had AVR (mostly TAVI) 🔹 32% received tafamidis 🔍 Results: Both AVR and tafamidis independently ↓ mortality Dual therapy (AVR + tafamidis) = best outcomes Survival similar to patients with lone AS undergoing AVR #EHJ #ValveDisease Christian Nitsche

3/3_🧠 Implication: Dual pathology (AS + ATTR-CA) should not preclude intervention. Combined AVR and disease-modifying therapy may restore prognosis. Non-randomised, but compelling signal for integrated treatment. @EurHeartJ #TAVR #Amyloidosis joao cavalcante Marco Merlo

🚨Excited to see the results of our transatlantic registry published in #EHJ. In dual aortic stenosis and ATTR-CM: treat the valve AND the myocardium. AVR and ATTR-specific medication ↓ mortality. doi.org/10.1093/eurhea… #CardioTwitter European Society of Cardiology Journals


Cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis treatment improves outcomes after aortic valve replacement for severe stenosis. Read more in the @EHJ at doi.org/10.1093/eurhea… #AorticValveReplacement #AmyloidosisAwareness @ESCardio European Society of Cardiology Journals
