🫀Therapeutic options for ATTR-CM are expanding rapidly, yet diagnostic delays remain significant.👇Our latest JACC Journals studies uncover geographic, socioeconomic and racial disparities in timely ATTR-CM diagnosis and outcomes, across both Stanford and national CDC cohorts.


Systemic efforts are needed for early diagnosis, enabling all populations to benefit from breakthrough treatments. For more details: 1) jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101… 2) jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101… Kevin Alexander Ronald Witteles Xiaokang_Wu JACC Journals #JACCHF

19a) A final analysis from #ATTRibute_CM, led by Kevin Alexander, evaluated the stability & improvement in #NYHA class on acoramidis vs placebo. At 30mo, 35.9% of pts in the #acoramidis group and 53.0% of pts in the placebo group had worsened in NYHA Class or had missing values.


Incredibly proud of the Stanford Heart Failure, Cardiac Transplant and MCS team, with so many impactful presentations at #ISHLT2025. Honored to work with such a talented group! Jeff Teuteberg Erik Henricksen Christian O’Donnell MD Kevin Alexander
