Heart rhythm risks in ATTR amyloidosis patients on tafamidis under scrutiny
NCT ID NCT06251778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 200 adults with ATTRwt amyloidosis who are taking tafamidis to see how often they develop heart rhythm problems that need a pacemaker or defibrillator. Researchers will also track changes in diuretic use. Participants are checked every six months as part of routine care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could improve how doctors monitor and manage heart rhythm problems in people with ATTR amyloidosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to new therapies, and results depend on routine care, which varies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of ATTRwt amyloidosis. * 18 years or older; * evidence of cardiac involvement at echocardiography or cardiac MRI. * No known prior history of atrial fibrillation or major bradyarrhythmia (second degree atrioventricular block, third-degree atrioventricular block, high-grade atrioventricular block or alternating right and left branch block) * female patients who are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit * patients on therapy or candidates for therapy with tafamidis 61 mg * voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study-related procedure not part of standard medical care with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care. Exclusion Criteria: * Non-ATTR amyloidosis; * NYHA class III and IV; * Pregnant or nursing women; * Previous pacemaker implantation; * any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with a fully comprehension of the written consent form
