Heart Health Series | Cardiac Amyloidosis

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Julie Rosenthal, M.D.  Cardiac amyloidosis is not a common condition, but it is important for primary care clinicians to recognize it in our patients. It’s commonly underdiagnosed as the symptoms are often assumed to be due to other, more common cardiac problems. Early recognition is important since this can result in improved treatment options and better patient outcomes. So how do we recognize cardiac amyloidosis? What are the presenting symptoms and what’s the best way to establish an accurate diagnosis? I’ll be asking my guest these questions as we discuss cardiac amyloidosis. My guest for tis podcast is Dr. Julie Rosenthal, a cardiologist in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic.   Mayo Clinic Talks: Heart Health | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development  Connect with us! Mayo Clinic Talks Podcast Season 6 | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development
