Episode Details

Drs. Dasgupta and Sarswat review how ATTR cardiomyopathy remains under-recognized despite its prevalence in older patients with heart failure, emphasizing clinical red flags across cardiac and systemic manifestations. They outline a practical diagnostic pathway that prioritizes early identification using light-chain evaluation, bone scintigraphy, and genetic testing to distinguish transthyretin subtypes and initiate timely, disease-modifying therapy.
