The treatment for patients with ATTR Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis has advanced significantly since 2018 when there were no FDA-approved therapies. In this episode of All Things Amyloid, we hear from Dr. Mat Maurer at Columbia University. Adapted from his video he shares how diagnostic imaging techniques have significantly improved, thereby reducing the need for an invasive heart biopsy. In addition, he shares fascinating statistics on how the age and stage of diagnosis has been evolving. Based on today’s clinical trials, providers are optimistic that the expansion of options for patient care will continue. The future is indeed looking brighter. His video can be found in the Education Hub (https://mm713.org/future-for-p....atients-with-transth on Mackenzie’s Mission website.
