Brief Summary:
ATTRwt (also known as senile systemic, or senile cardiac amyloidosis) is a progressive heart disease, causing congestive heart failure. It is caused by amyloid protein deposits in the heart, that are derived from a normal protein, TTR, made in the liver. The aim of the study is to determine whether lowering the blood levels of TTR, by a weekly injection of a compound designed specifically to do this, will slow the progression of the disease when treated patients are compared to previously-followed patients who were not receiving this drug. The study also aims to determine how well this drug is tolerated and the existence and severity of any drug side-effects.
