The CATCH-ATTR study: CArpal Tunnel ligament amyloid—the Clue for early identification of Hereditary or wildtype systemic ATTR amyloidosis?
Histopathological evaluation of resected carpal ligament should be considered in patients at least older than 70 years. Even though absolute numbers were low, cardiac screening of patients with evidence of amyloid deposits in in carpal tunnel tissues might facilitate early diagnosis of ATTR-CM in some patients.
