What is ATTR cardiac amyloidosis?

ATTR amyloidosis is a rare, progressive disease characterized by the abnormal buildup of amyloid deposits composed of misfolded transthyretin protein in the body's organs and tissues.

What is the difference between AL amyloidosis and ATTR amyloidosis?

More than 30 different precursor proteins may form amyloid, but only two types of amyloidosis commonly affect the heart: immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) due to a plasma cell dyscrasia, and transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) due to misfolding of transthyretin (prealbumin), which transports thyroxine and ...Mar 29, 2019

What is ATTR-cm disease?

ATTR-CM is a life-threatening, progressive, infiltrative, rare disease that can often be overlooked as a cause of heart failure. Transthyretin (TTR) proteins with unstable structures misfold and aggregate into amyloid fibrils, which deposit in the heart and other organs.

How is ATTR amyloidosis diagnosed?

A positive TcPYP scan, along with blood and urine tests to rule out other forms of amyloidosis, can confirm the diagnosis without the need for a heart biopsy. When ATTR amyloidosis is confirmed, a blood test is used to find out if the ATTR is hereditary or wild-type.Jun 2, 2020

What is macular amyloidosis?

Macular amyloidosis (MA) is the most subtle form of cutaneous amyloidosis, characterized by brownish macules in a rippled pattern, distributed predominantly over the trunk and extremities. MA has a high incidence in Asia, Middle East, and South America.

What causes wild type ATTR?

As with hereditary forms of the disease (hATTR) wild-type ATTR causes problems due to the breaking apart, misfolding and deposition of amyloid protein fibrils in healthy tissue. “Wild-type” refers to this form of the disease because it is the natural form of this protein, without genetic mutation.

How is ATTR-CM diagnosed?

Imaging. Imaging remains at the heart of a noninvasive diagnosis of ATTR-CM. The three modalities that have been shown to be useful and, at times, diagnostic for ATTR-CM are transthoracic echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and cardiac scintigraphy.Apr 7, 2020

What is hereditary ATTR?

Hereditary ATTR amyloidosis is caused by a fault or mutation in the transthyretin (TTR) gene which is inherited (i.e. runs in families). The mutation results in an abnormal TTR protein that is unstable and readily misfolds, forming aggregates which deposit as amyloid in various organs and tissues in the body.

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code E85.82 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Information for Patients
