David Wolinsky, MD, Director of the Cardiac Amyloid Clinic at the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, FL, delves into the details of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) and its impact on the heart.
Thank you very much Doctor. Very happy to find this lecture/ short insight. I am medical student and contemplating making some research in this topic therefor looked this lecture to get the wind.
I'm curious about this too. My partner (76, ATTRwt) ruptured his bicep tendon a few years ago. Such a random and bizarre thing to happen! We've only recently been told about his CA and are wondering about the connection. There are issues with the tendons in the wrists (carpal tunnel) and I have read about the tendons and muscles in the lumbar spine too.
My dad has amyloidosis attr (hATTR, we found out recently. I am being tested right now) and his bicep ruptured just 2 weeks ago... I was wondering if this was because of his illness or not.

I've got it, off to Seattle in a few weeks to UW.
Why would a ruptured biceps tendon be seen with ATTR ? What about other tendon ruptures ?
