Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Primary Endpoints<br /><br>• Quantification of myocardial microcalcification on 18F-sodiumfluoride PET/CT;<br /><br>• Mean difference in [123I]MIBG uptake between early and progressive ATTR-CM at<br /><br>baseline and after one years on tafamidis.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondary Endpoints<br /><br>• Change in myocardial microcalcification activity on 18F-sodiumfluoride PET/CT;<br /><br>• Cardiac indices on magnetic resonance imaging, such as left ventricular<br /><br>ejection fraction, left ventricular mass, extracellular volume and global<br /><br>longitudinal strain;<br /><br>• Cardiac biomarkers including NT-ProBNP and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin<br /><br>I;<br /><br>• Clinical measures such as 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Kansas City<br /><br>Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire - Overall Summary (KCCQ-OS) score, and Norfolk<br /><br>Quality of Life-Diabetic Neuropathy questionnaire total score (Norfolk QOL*DN); </p><br>
