Article Synopsis
- Transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a serious cause of heart failure in older adults, with significant diagnostic delays often leading to poor quality of life before diagnosis.*
-
- The study analyzed 1,034 patients over several years, revealing that those with hereditary forms of the disease (specifically the V1221 variant) experienced greater functional impairment and worse outcomes compared to those with the wild-type form.*
-
- Urgent improvements in awareness and diagnostic methods are necessary to facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment, as ATTR-CM is a progressively fatal disease that severely impacts patients' quality of life.*
