The Road to Early Diagnosis of Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis in Argentina

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is a significant but underdiagnosed cause of heart failure in older adults. In recent years, its diagnostic incidence has shown a considerable increase.The authors of the manuscript Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: development of a predictive model and scoring scale for diagnosis present the deteCTTAR score, a predictive model developed entirely from local data, which ensures that the diagnostic tools are truly useful in our setting. Tools such as the DeteCTTAR score not only represent an opportunity to improve the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, but also to optimize the prognosis through early treatment.
