ATTRCA Prevalence in Aortic Stenosis Patients by ihsaas786 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the prevalence of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRCA) in patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing aortic valve intervention. Out of 27 patients screened, 5 (18.5%) were diagnosed with ATTRCA, highlighting its significant presence in this population. The study suggests that bone scintigraphy should be used for screening AS patients for ATTRCA due to its potential impact on prognosis and treatment outcomes.
