HAZLET, N.J. - s4story -- This symposium will emphasize prompt recognition of the disease, identifying cardiac and extracardiac clinical clues. The diagnostic algorithm will be explained and clinical evidence with current disease-modifying therapies (which act by either reducing production of new amyloid by suppressing hepatic synthesis of transthyretin (TTR) or by stabilizing the TTR protein) summarized. Supportive care with prudent use and potential adjustments of GDMT for HF will be indicated, and recommendations for monitoring of ATTR-CM disease progression identified to optimize patient outcomes.
