ImportanceTransthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a progressive cardiomyopathy that commonly presents with concomitant chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney dysfunction is associated with worse outcomes, but the prognostic value of changes in kidney function over time has yet to be defined.ObjectiveTo assess the prognostic importance of a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in a large cohort of patients with ATTR-CM.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective, observational, single-center cohort study evaluated patients diagnosed with ATTR-CM at the National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) in the UK who underwent an eGFR baseline assessment and a follow-up assessment at 1 year between January 2000 and April 2024. Data analysis was performed in June 2024.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the risk of all-cause mortality associated with decline in kidney function (defined as a decrease in eGFR &gt;20%).ResultsAmong 2001 patients, mean (SD) age was 75.5 (8.4) years, and 263 patients (13.1%) were female. The median (IQR) change in eGFR was −5 mlL/min/1.73 m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> (−12 to 1), and 481 patients (24.0%) experienced decline in kidney function.

ImportanceThe Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a commonly used outcome in heart failure trials. While comparing means between treatment groups improves statistical power, mean treatment effects do not necessarily reflect the clinical benefit experienced by individual patients.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between mean KCCQ treatment effects and the proportions of patients experiencing clinically important improvements across a range of clinical trials and heart failure etiologies.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA patient-level analysis of 11 randomized clinical trials, including 9977 patients, was performed to examine the association between mean treatment effects and the KCCQ Overall Summary Score (OSS) and the absolute differences in the proportions of patients experiencing clinically important (≥5 points) and moderate to large (≥10 points) improvements. There was no target date range, and included studies were those for which patient-level data were available. Validation was performed in 7 additional trials. The data were analyzed between July 1 and September 15, 2023.Main Outcomes and MeasuresProportion of patients experiencing an improvement of 5 or more and 10 or more points in their KCCQ score (with each domain transformed to a range of 0 to 100 points, where higher scores represent better health status).ResultsGroup mean KCCQ-OSS differences were strongly correlated with absolute differences in clinically important changes (Spearman correlations 0.76-0.92). For example, a mean KCCQ-OSS treatment effect of 2.5 points (half of a minimally important difference for an individual patient) was associated with an absolute difference of 6.0% (95% prediction interval [PI], 4.0%-8.1%) in the proportion of patients improving 5 or more points and 5.0% (95% PI, 3.1%-7.0%) in the proportion improving 10 or more points, corresponding to a number needed to treat of 17 (95% PI, 12-25) and 20 (95% PI, 14-33), respectively.Conclusions and RelevanceInferences about clinical impacts based on population-level mean treatment effects may be misleading, since even small between-group differences may reflect clinically important treatment benefits for individual patients. Results of this study suggest that clinical trials should explicitly describe the distributions of KCCQ change at the patient level within treatment groups to support the clinical interpretation of their results.

ImportanceThe genetic factors that modulate the reduced penetrance and variable expressivity of heritable dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are largely unknown. BAG3 genetic variants have been implicated in both DCM and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), nominating BAG3 as a gene that harbors potential modifier variants in DCM.ObjectiveTo interrogate the clinical traits and diseases associated with BAG3 coding variation.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a cross-sectional study in the Penn Medicine BioBank (PMBB) enrolling patients of the University of Pennsylvania Health System’s clinical practice sites from 2014 to 2023. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was linked to electronic health record (EHR) data to associate BAG3 coding variants with EHR phenotypes. This was a health care population-based study including individuals of European and African genetic ancestry in the PMBB with WES linked to EHR phenotypes, with replication studies in BioVU, UK Biobank, MyCode, and DCM Precision Medicine Study.ExposuresCarrier status for BAG3 coding variants.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAssociation of BAG3 coding variation with clinical diagnoses, echocardiographic traits, and longitudinal outcomes.ResultsIn PMBB (n = 43 731; median [IQR] age, 65 [50-76] years; 21 907 female [50.1%]), among 30 324 European and 11 198 African individuals, the common C151R variant was associated with decreased risk for DCM (odds ratio [OR], 0.85; 95% CI, 0.78-0.92) and simultaneous increased risk for HCM (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.25-2.02), which was confirmed in the replication cohorts. C151R carriers exhibited improved longitudinal outcomes compared with noncarriers as assessed by age at death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74-0.96; median [IQR] age, 71.8 [63.1-80.7] in carriers and 70.3 [61.6-79.2] in noncarriers) and heart transplant (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.66-0.99; median [IQR] age, 56.7 [46.1-63.1] in carriers and 55.6 [45.2-62.9] in noncarriers). C151R was associated with reduced risk of DCM (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.24-0.74) and heart failure (OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.14-0.50) among individuals harboring truncating TTN variants in exons with high cardiac expression (n = 358).Conclusions and RelevanceBAG3 C151R was identified as a bidirectional modulator of risk along the DCM-HCM spectrum, as well as an important genetic modifier variant in TTN-mediated DCM. This work expands on the understanding of the etiology and penetrance of DCM, suggesting that BAG3 C151R is an important genetic modifier variant contributing to the variable expressivity of DCM, warranting further exploration of its mechanisms and of genetic modifiers in DCM more broadly.
