Sex differences in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis
© 2023. The Author(s)..
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a progressive disease characterized by the deposition of abnormal transthyretin protein fibrils in the heart, leading to cardiac dysfunction. Recent evidence suggests that sex differences may play a significant role in various steps of ATTR-CA, including clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, disease progression, and treatment outcomes. ATTR-CA predominantly affects men, whereas women are older at presentation. Women generally present with a history of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and/or carpal tunnel syndrome. When indexed, left ventricular (LV) wall thickness is equal, or even increased, than men. Women also have smaller LV cavities, more preserved ejection fractions, and apparently a slightly worse right ventricular and diastolic function. Given the under-representation on women in clinical trials, no data regarding sex influence on the treatment response are currently available. Finally, it seems there are no differences in overall prognosis, even if premenopausal women may have a certain level of myocardial protection. Genetic variations, environmental factors, and hormonal changes are considered as potential contributors to observed disparities. Understanding sex differences in ATTR-CA is vital for accurate diagnosis and management. By considering these differences, clinicians can improve diagnostic accuracy, tailor treatments, and optimize outcomes for both sexes with ATTR-CA.
