ATTR-CM

Posted by phillipdobrien @phillipdobrien, Feb 7 6:34am

Has anyone heard of ATTR-CM ? It is a build up of proteins in the heart muscle. Symptoms include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome & lower back pain; especially if they occur together. It can be an early warning of a serious heart issue. Apparently it is treated with Vyndamax (Tafamidis).
I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks ! Phil OBrien

I have no background in this, sorry, but I would hope someone might chime in here before long.
