Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has been traditionally considered a rare and inexorably fatal condition. ATTR-CM now is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure (HF) and mortality worldwide with effective pharmacological treatments.

Many patients are now diagnosed at an earlier stage.
