Baseline Characteristics

Patients with predominant amyloid cardiomyopathy constituted the "cardiac group" (n=12). Serial cardiac biomarkers (BNP, Troponin I) determinations were used to assess the effect of doxycycline on cardiac amyloid disease progression.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: Analysis is limited to the patients with predominant amyloid heart involvement at enrollment. Mixed models analyses of change from baseline levels of cardiac biomarkers (BNP, Troponin I) were performed to include all collected data.
