Building an index of suspicion for cardiac amyloidosis

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of All Things Amyloid, we are reminded how early diagnosis of amyloidosis, and the earlier the better, improves patient survival and quality of life. Adapted from his video “Building an Index of Suspicion for Cardiac Amyloidosis” Dr. Justin Grodin, a cardiologist and co-director of the UT Southwestern Multidisciplinary Amyloidosis Program, discusses early symptoms, family history, and red flags to be aware of in order to build a clinical index of suspicion for cardiac amyloidosis. His video can be found in the Education Hub on Mackenzie’s Mission website. For an overview of amyloidosis, please see episode 2 (for clinicians) or episode 3 (for patients).
