Adapted from his video “Building an Index of Suspicion for Cardiac Amyloidosis” Dr. Justin Grodin, a cardiologist and co-director of the UT Southwestern Multidisciplinary Amyloidosis Program, discusses early symptoms, family history, and red flags to be aware of in order to build a clinical index of suspicion for cardiac amyloidosis.

Building an index of suspicion for cardiac amyloidosis

Hi everyone!&nbsp; My name is Mackenzie and I was diagnosed with AL amyloidosis at age 23. We don’t know the cause of this disease, but we do know that it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening issues. This disease has changed me and my life in so many ways, and as a result, I founded Mackenzie’s Mission to join the fight against this disease. Part of our effort is to raise awareness which, we believe, will accelerate diagnosis, enable earlier treatment, and improve patient lives. We do this in several ways, including our “All Things Amyloid” podcast. In our episodes, we will speak with patients and caregivers about their journey on a wide array of topics. We will also hear from amyloidosis experts about the medical side of this disease.&nbsp; There is more hope for patients than ever before, and raising awareness around the globe is critical to improving patient lives. If you want to learn more about the work we’re doing at Mackenzie’s Mission, please visit mm713.org. Thanks for listening!
