Results of a Screening Program for Diagnosis of Amyloid Cardiomyopathy Among Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: PAPCAT Cardiac Amyloidosis Türkiye Survey

Cardiac amyloidosis is highly prevalent in a patient population with LVH and 2 red flags who underwent a standardized algorithmic approach, in which apical sparing, restrictive filling pattern, low QRS voltage, carpal tunnel syndrome, low blood pressure, and increased HR are the highly suggestive signs of CA. Among this pool of newly diagnosed CA patients in Türkiye, AL-CA constituted 50.8%, wTTR CA 38.6%, and mTTR CA 7%, emphasizing that approximately 1 in 2 patients diagnosed with CA may have TTR CA.
