Article Synopsis
  • - Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is more commonly diagnosed in older men, but research indicates that women may be underrepresented in previous statistics regarding its prevalence.
  • - The SCAN-MP study used nuclear imaging to assess ATTR-CA in older Black and Caribbean Hispanic individuals, revealing that this cohort had a higher percentage of women (31.3%) compared to a referral center (13.3%).
  • - Women in the SCAN-MP cohort displayed a less severe form of the disease, indicated by higher heart function and lower heart mass, suggesting that targeted identification in women is essential to address existing sex disparities in ATTR-CA diagnoses.
