Utility of Genetic Testing in Patients with Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Brief Review
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly diagnosed condition. Although wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is the most common ATTR-CM, hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) may also occur.
