PRECLINICAL SIGNALS OF CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS IN UNDIAGNOSED CARRIERS OF PATHOGENIC TTR VARIANTS

Pathogenic gene variants in transthyretin ( TTR ) can cause heritable amyloidosis (hATTR) and confer a 60% risk of heart failure. Echocardiography with global longitudinal strain (GLS) discriminates fully manifest cardiac amyloid (CA) but its ability to detect preclinical CA is unknown. We
