Participants were enrolled from 2006 to 2010, with a median follow-up of 12 (IQR, 11-13) years (cutoff date for the analysis, March 12, 2024). Sixty-two candidate TTR variants were extracted based on rarity (minor allele frequency ≤0.0001) and/or previously described associations with amyloidosis if more frequent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exposure: &lt;/strong&gt;Carrier status for TTR variants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main outcomes and measures: &lt;/strong&gt;Associations of TTR carrier status with vATTR prevalence and cardiovascular imaging and electrocardiogram traits were explored using descriptive statistics. Associations between TTR carrier status and atrial fibrillation, conduction disease, heart failure, and all-cause mortality were evaluated using adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. Genotypic and diagnostic concordance was examined using International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes from the hospital record.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The overall cohort included 469 789 UKB participants (mean [SD] age, 56.5 [8.1] years; 54.2% female and 45.8% male). A likely pathogenic/pathogenic (LP/P) TTR variant was detected in 473 (0.1%) participants, with Val142Ile being the most prevalent (367 [77.6%]); 91 individuals (0.02%) were carriers of a variant of unknown significance . The overall prevalence of LP/P variants was 0.02% (105 of 444 243) in participants with European ancestry and 4.3% (321 of 7533) in participants with African ancestry. The LP/P variants were associated with higher left ventricular mass indexed to body surface area (β = 4.66; 95% CI, 1.87-7.44), and Val142Ile was associated with a longer PR interval (β = 18.34; 95% CI, 5.41-31.27). The LP/P carrier status was associated with a higher risk of heart failure (hazard ratio [HR], 2.68; 95% CI, 1.75-4.12) and conduction disease (HR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.25-2.83). Higher all-cause mortality risk was observed for non-Val142Ile LP/P variants (HR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.06-3.67). Thirteen participants (2.8%) with LP/P variants had diagnostic codes compatible with cardiac or neurologic amyloidosis.

Mean (SD) patient age was 78.6 (8.0) years, 1658 of 2693 patients (61.6%) were female, and the mean (SD) baseline KCCQ Overall Summary (KCCQ-OS) score was 50 (23). There was strong internal consistency within individual domains (Cronbach α, .77-.83). Among clinically stable patients between 1 and 6 months, there were small mean changes in KCCQ domain and summary scores (differences of -0.1 to 1.9 points), demonstrating reproducibility. In contrast, domain and summary scores of patients who underwent TTVI showed large improvements at 1 month after treatment (mean changes, 12.1-21.4 points), indicating excellent perceived responsiveness. Construct validity was moderately strong when domains were compared with best available reference measures (Spearman correlations, 0.47-0.69). In both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, the KCCQ-OS was associated with clinical events, with lower scores associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio, 1.34 per 10-point decrement; 95% CI, 1.22-1.47) and heart failure hospitalization (hazard ratio, 1.24 per 10-point decrement; 95% CI, 1.17-1.31).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions and relevance: &lt;/strong&gt;In this cohort study, the KCCQ had strong psychometric properties in patients with severe TR, including reliability, responsiveness, and validity.

The Sentinel cerebral embolic protection (CEP) device is approved for capture and removal of embolic material during TAVR but its efficacy has been debated.ObjectiveTo explore regional differences in the association of CEP utilization with stroke outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis post hoc analysis of a prospective, postmarket, randomized clinical trial evaluating TAVR performed with or without the CEP took place at 51 hospitals in the US, Europe, and Australia from February 2020 to January 2022. Patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis treated with transfemoral TAVR were included. Randomization was stratified according to center, operative risk, and intended TAVR valve type. Patients were excluded if the left common carotid or brachiocephalic artery had greater than 70% stenosis or if the anatomy precluded placement of the CEP device. Data for this post hoc study were analyzed from August to October 2024.InterventionTAVR with or without CEP.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary end point was the rate of all stroke events at hospital discharge or 72 hours post-TAVR, whichever came first. Neurological examinations were performed at baseline and postprocedure to identify stroke, disabling stroke, and other neurological outcomes.ResultsThe Stroke Protection With Sentinel During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (PROTECTED TAVR) trial enrolled and randomized 3000 patients (1803 [60.1%] male; mean [SD] age, 78.9 [7.8] years): 1833 in the US cohort (TAVR alone: 919, TAVR with CEP: 914) and 1167 patients in the outside the US (OUS) cohort (TAVR alone: 580, TAVR with CEP: 587). Patients in the US cohort were younger, more predominantly male, had a lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation, and had a higher prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease compared with the OUS cohort. In the main trial, the incidence of stroke within 72 hours after TAVR or before discharge did not differ significantly between the CEP group and the control group, and there was no interaction by geographic region. In this post hoc analysis, patients treated with CEP in the US cohort exhibited a 50% relative risk reduction for overall stroke and a 73% relative risk reduction for disabling stroke compared to TAVR alone; a treatment effect on stroke risk reduction was not observed in the OUS cohort.Conclusion and RelevanceThe PROTECTED TAVR trial could not show that the use of CEP had a significant effect on the incidence of periprocedural stroke during TAVR. Although there was no significant interaction by geographic region, this exploratory post hoc analysis suggests a trend toward greater stroke reduction in the US cohort but not in the OUS cohort.
