OVERVIEW

Increasing Detection and Improving Outcomes in Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy is organized by i3 Health.

Dates Available:
August 13, 2025 - August 12, 2026

Statement of Need:
Hereditary amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a progressively debilitating disease caused by the buildup of variant transthyretin proteins in amyloid deposits in the heart, nerves, and digestive system. Symptoms of ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) overlap with those of other more commonly recognized cardiac diseases, leading to misdiagnosis. As ATTR is now a treatable disease due to recent advances, it is crucial for members of the interdisciplinary care team to remain up to date on genetic testing and diagnostic modalities to improve early identification for early diagnosis and optimal treatment selection (American Heart Association, 2024; Nativi-Nicolau et al, 2021). This activity, presented by Mathew Maurer, MD, the Arnold and Arlene Goldstein Professor of Cardiology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, will explore strategies for increasing detection and improving outcomes in patients with hereditary ATTR-CM.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Evaluate clinical features and diagnostic tests that can enable the timely identification of hereditary ATTR and ATTR-CM
Assess the safety and efficacy of current and emerging therapies for hereditary ATTR-CM
Appraise treatment selection considerations for individual patients with hereditary ATTR-CM or mixed phenotype.
