We found that a simple combination of ECG and echocardiographic parameters used in clinical settings was able to differentiate ATTR-CA from other aetiologies of HF with increased interventricular septum thickness. The high sensitivity and negative predictive value render the algorithm useful for selection of patients for further diagnostic procedures for ATTR-CA.
