First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether being physically active over a lifetime is linked to developing a rare heart disease called wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. Researchers compared the exercise histories of 180 people over age 60, including those with the disease, those with heart failure, and healthy individuals. The goal was to see if more activity might lower the risk of this condition.
