summary/abstract

Awareness among patients, and even physicians, remains low, which results in ATTR‑CM being significantly underdiagnosed.

Underdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis occur because the symptoms of ATTR‑CM mimic those of other more common causes of heart failure.

Some ATTR‑CM patients report visiting up to 5 different doctors before receiving the correct diagnosis.*
