International prevalence of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy in high-risk patients with heart failure and preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure (HF). METHODS: This epidemiology study assessed the international prevalence of ATTR-CM among patients aged ≥60 years with a history of HF, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >40%, an end-diastolic interventricular septum thickness (IVST) ≥12 mm, but without diagnosed amyloidosis, history of LVEF ≤40%, cardiomyopathy of known cause, severe valvular, or coronary heart disease. ATTR-CM was determined using cardiac scintigraphy alongside exclusionary testing for light chain amyloidosis. The study was terminated early due to slow recruitment, without safety concerns. RESULTS: <.05) included a history of carpal tunnel syndrome, higher N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide concentration, and higher end-diastolic IVST. CONCLUSIONS: ATTR-CM was diagnosed in 18% (95% CI: 13.7-22.5) of evaluable patients with HF, LVEF >40%, and risk markers for ATTR-CM, but no previous diagnosis of amyloidosis. Recruitment bias may have contributed to regional variability. NCT04424914.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
