Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)

​​​​​​​ATTR-CM is an underdiagnosed, progressive, and infiltrative disease that can often be overlooked as a cause of heart failure.1,2

 Early diagnosis and treatment of ATTR-CM are critical to extend life3

Prognosis worsens rapidly with continued amyloid deposition, resulting in advancing organ dysfunction, significant reduction in quality of life, and, ultimately, death.1,4

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, especially in patients older than 60 years, warrants evaluation by a cardiologist.5,6

Untreated patients have a median survival of ~2 to 3.5 years once diagnosed with ATTR-CM.4
