Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A multicenter observational retrospective-prospective study of prevalence and clinical characteristics of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) cardiomyopathy (CM) in Russian patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in real clinical practice.

The retrospective phase will entail secondary data collection from electronic or paper medical records of patients who are participating/participated in the PRIORITY-CHF study and have HFpEF. Those patients who have a high suspicion of having ATTR-CM and provided informed consent will be invited to participate in the prospective phase. The prospective phase will consist of three visits, during which a routine comprehensive cardiologic evaluation in order to confirm or exclude ATTR-CM diagnosis will be performed. In patients with confirmed ATTR-CM the material for genetic testing will be collected in order to specify the type of ATTR-amyloidosis

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter observational study consisting of retrospective and prospective phases.

Heart failure (HF) - is a clinical syndrome characterised by the presence of typical symptoms (e.g. breathlessness, fatigue and ankle swelling) and signs (e.g. elevated jugular venous pressure, pulmonary crackles and peripheral oedema) caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality, resulting in a reduced cardiac output and/or elevated intracardiac pressures at rest or during stress.

Cardiac amyloidosis is an underestimated cause of HF and cardiac arrhythmias. Among all most commonly types of cardiac amyloidosis (wild-type or familial TTR and light-chain), the wild-type (Wt) TTR-related amyloidosis (ATTR) is an increasingly recognized cause of HFpEF, and amyloidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of this heart failure group of patients.

ATTR-CM is an inexorably progressive and eventually fatal, associated with poor quality of life. Diagnosis is often delayed for many years after symptoms develop. However, recognition of ATTR epidemiology is evolving due to the increased use of cardiac scintigraphy as a noninvasive diagnostic tool. Early identification and intervention are crucial to improve patient outcomes because newly available treatments have been shown to have maximum therapeutic benefit when started in the early stages of the disease. In recent years, contemporary cardiac imaging techniques, including MRI and bone scintigraphy, have altered the diagnostic algorithm for ATTR-CM, which has resulted in increased detection.

Thus country-specific epidemiologic data collection and identification of ATTR-CM is crucial to improve outcomes and quality of life. However, no observational studies on the epidemiology of ATTR-CM in Russian patients with HFpEF have been performed.

Therefore, there is a need to conduct a large-scale observational study to determine the prevalence of ATTR-CM in Russia, obtain information on patients' clinical characteristics, and determine their medical needs. Meanwhile information about epidemiological, ECG, EchoCG, other characteristics and prevalence is crucially important to improve diagnostics of these patients.

In addition, recently molecular genetic testing became available, which is essential to diagnose hereditary ATTR. Earlier recognition of the ATTR type, in turn, may lead to timely treatment initiation and change in the prognostic outlook of ATTR-CM patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

for the retrospective phase are:

* Patients participating/participated in the PRIORITY-CHF study (may be alive or deceased at the time of inclusion to this study).
* Established diagnosis of HFpEF (presence of typical signs and symptoms of HF (see Appendix A) and LVEF ≥50%) at any time during participation in the PRIORITY-CHF study.

The following criteria apply for inclusion of patients into the prospective part of the study:

* Provided written informed consent for the prospective phase of the study.
* Presence of left ventricular wall thickness \>12 mm.
* Presence of at least three of "red flags" or additional signs for having high-risk of ATTR-CM (evaluation based on medical history of HF and concomitant diseases, family history, results of previous ECG, Echo-CG/cardiac MRI, laboratory data):

* \>65 age (during participation in the PRIORITY-CHF study)
* Conduction system disease (atrioventricular block, left bundle branch block, long QRS complex, sick sinus syndrome)/pacemaker
* Atrial fibrillation
* Pseudoinfarct pattern on the ECG (when hemodynamically significant stenosis is absent);
* Disproportion of QRS voltage to the degree of increased LV wall thickness on imaging methods
* Grade 2 or worse diastolic dysfunction
* Decreased longitudinal strain with apical sparing
* Diffuse subendocardial or transmural late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac MRI with increased extracellular volume fraction
* Persistent low-level troponin elevation
* Elevated NT-proBNP level
* Right ventricular (RV) wall thickness more than 6 mm
* Pericardial effusion in patients with LV-hypertrophy
* Restrictive pattern in patients with LV-hypertrophy
* Atrial enlargement with the normal ventricular volumes
* Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome
* Lumbar/cervical spinal stenosis
* Spontaneous biceps tendon rupture
* Hip or knee replacement
* Peripheral neuropathy
* Family history of neuropathy
* Intolerance/poor tolerance to vasodilating antihypertensive medications
* Orthostatic hypotension
* Gastroparesis
* Urinary incontinence (neurogenic bladder), recurrent urinary infections,
* Erectile dysfunction
* Other autonomic dysfunction, such as gastrointestinal motility disorders (constipation, early satiety, chronic diarrhea, nausea/vomiting), syncope, anhidrosis)

Exclusion Criteria

* Any severe condition that, in opinion of the physician, will limit patient's life span to 12 months or less from the inclusion to this study.
* Current participation in any interventional trial (i.e. at the time of inclusion to this study).

The following criteria apply for exclusion of patients from the prospective part of the study:

* Patients with previously established (and documented) ATTR-CM.
* Patients with previous positive hematological test result on evaluating AL-amyloidosis in the anamnesis (monoclonal protein is identified by SIFE/UIF) and the serum FLC ratio (kappa/lambda) is in outside of the normal range).

If the hematological test on evaluating AL amyloidosis is negative, or there is no such test performed in the patient's medical history, the patient may be enrolled to this study.
