SUMMARY:Tackling Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM): New insights and strategies webinar
UID:48
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday 4th February 2025 – 14:00-16:00This free, non-promotional meeting brings together healthcare professionals from primary and secondary care and aims to provide further understanding and explore the diagnosis of Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) and it’s link to heart failure.\n\nThe 2-hour webinar will cover topics such as the types of amyloidosis including differential diagnosis of ATTR-CM, the Pathophysiology of ATTR-CM and the signs and symptoms of ATTR-CM compared with HFpEF/HFrEF. The expert panel from the National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) will discuss ‘Red flags’ for HCPs that should ‘raise clinical suspicion’ of potential ATTR-CM and look at the diagnostic pathway including imaging (MRI/DPD-Scintigraphy), biopsy and genetic testing. During the webinar you will be educated on the various treatment options and long-term goals and management.\n\nTo attend this free event, please book online. You will receive your virtual delegate confirmation and webinar link in 24-hours.\n\nClick here to register \n\n \n\nATTR-CM is an underdiagnosed and potentially fatal disease of the heart muscle.\n\nIn ATTR-CM, a protein called transthyretin that normally circulates in the bloodstream becomes misshapen and builds up in the heart, nerves and other organs. When these amyloid deposits build up in the heart, the walls can become stiff, making the left ventricle unable to properly relax and fill with blood (cardiomyopathy). ATTR-CM is a progressive condition that may ultimately lead to heart failure.\n\nSymptoms of ATTR-CM can vary and are subtle, and therefore the condition is often misdiagnosed. In its early stages, it may mimic the symptoms of other conditions, such as heart failure, hypertension and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Some patients may have no symptoms, while others may progress to end-stage heart failure.\n\nOnce suspected, more specialised tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.\n\n
