Abstract

Major recent advances in understanding of systemic transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis include the universal recognition that cardiac wild type ATTR amyloidosis is a prevalent cause of fatal heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and/or fatal arrhythmia in the elderly, predominantly in men. ATTR amyloid cardiomyopathy is strongly associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by wild type ATTR amyloid deposition in the carpal ligaments. The very interesting study by Eldhagen et al in this issue sheds further light on the association between cardiac and ligament ATTR amyloid but tantalisingly leaves several crucial questions unanswered.
