Summary

This study looked at whether being physically active over a lifetime is linked to developing a rare heart condition called wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. Researchers compared exercise histories of 180 people over age 60—some with the condition, some with heart failure, and some healthy. The goal was to see if more activity might lower the risk of this disease.
