Amyloidosis & Advanced Heart Failure: When to Consider Cardiac Transplantation and What are the Results?
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThe management of end-stage heart failure in cardiac amyloidosis due to both light chain (AL-CA) and transthyretin (ATTR-CA) with heart transplantation has historically been limited by concerns about systemic progression after transplant. As a result, heart transplantation as a strategy was often restrictive and many patients were excluded. This review synthesizes contemporary evidence and outlines a practical framework to guide heart transplant evaluation and decision making in advanced disease. We emphasize evolving multidisciplinary selection principles. RECENT
findingsIn the recent era (since the 2010s), multicenter experience has demonstrated that carefully selected patients with advanced AL-CA and ATTR-CA can achieve favorable outcomes after heart transplantation. Specifically, selected individuals with wild type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA) may be appropriate candidates. For hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRv-CA), isolated heart or combined heart liver transplantation (CHLT) can been considered, although modern transthyretin targeted therapies increasingly influence this decision. Patients with AL-CA may undergo transplantation alongside timely plasma cell directed treatment. Historically, outcomes for heart transplantation in patients with cardiac amyloidosis were poor. Improved patient selection as well as advances in plasma cell targeted therapy for AL-CA and transthyretin stabilizing or gene silencing treatments for ATTR-CA have reshaped expectations. The improved outcomes seen in more contemporary cohorts support heart transplantation as a viable option for selected patients with advanced disease.
