Summary
In this CME/CE podcast episode, Cardiologist Dr. Michelle Kittleson and Neurologist Dr. Chafic Karam discuss the multidisciplinary management of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). They explore how ATTR affects both the heart and the nervous system, focusing on recognizing symptoms, diagnosing the disease, and managing treatment. Dr. Karam shares insights on peripheral neuropathy caused by amyloidosis, including clues that suggest amyloidosis over more common neuropathies. Dr. Kittleson highlights how cardiologists assess and manage TTR cardiomyopathy, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and the evolving therapeutic landscape. Together, they discuss the collaborative nature of care, the impact of new therapies on clinical outcomes, and the importance of raising awareness for ATTR.

Learning Objectives

• 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
