Abstract excerpt

Heart failure is the usual cause of death in patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy. The commonest form of hereditary cardiac amyloidosis is associated with the Val122Ile variant of transthyretin (TTR), which is carried by 3-4% of the African American population. Here, we report the outcome of the...
