Chafic Karam and Michelle Kittleson dive into five key questions from recent live-virtual broadcasts about transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). They discuss the role of cardiac MRI, biopsy, and genetic testing in diagnosing ATTR cardiomyopathy and polyneuropathy. They also explore treatment options, including silencing therapies and stabilizers, with insights into when patients should be referred for specialized care. The conversation emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, collaborative care between neurologists and cardiologists, and the expanding therapeutic landscape for ATTR. Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the correct diagnostic algorithm for suspected ATTR, including interpretation of the monoclonal protein screen and indications for biopsy and genetic testing. Initiate appropriate management, including disease-directed therapy and appropriate cardiac care, or referral when indicated.
