Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), once considered rare, is more prevalent than previously thought. Diagnosing ATTR-CM is particularly important because there are now highly effective, specific therapies for ATTR-CM. In this podcast, we will provide a contemporary review of the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to patients with ATTR-CM in the current era.

 

Topics Discussed:

• When to suspect the disease & who to screen for ATTR-CM?
• How to diagnose and prognosticate ATTR-CM in the current era?
• Provide an overview of current and emerging therapies for managing ATTR-CM.
