with a poignant patient perspective on AL amyloid. As an athlete, he experienced a delay in diagnosis & generously shared his story as a reminder that we still have work to do to increase awareness of amyloid among providers!

Key slides from my journal club. AI algorithm can be trained to detect EKG changes in asymptomatic LV dysfunction. Initial false+ had 4x risk of progressing to LV dysfunction over 5 years - fascinating!!

for putting on such a wonderful and educational conference! Can't wait to tune in next weekend! Some takeaways on the nuances of management:
Today felt like a throwback to Med school. Went to pathology lab to look at our patient’s fat pad biopsy and bone marrow slides. Amazing to diagnose and be involved in life altering treatment decisions with onc team as a cardiologist

“Unfortunately with this medical condition we don’t have much control over how much time you have, but what we CAN control is the quality of your time and help you to spend it in the way you want to”
Next steps: Need to move towards patients having more access to their own data. Up until now “data has only been available to the priesthood...it has been a world is flat period in medicine.” Working towards a world of data providing more value to both patient and provider
Great line up at

✨In the age of stabilizer/silencer therapies hard to justify need for heart/liver in hATTR as was previously the case
✨Post heart transplant therapy is a data-free zone but if lifestyle limiting neuropathy reasonable to use silencer therapy
