Musculoskeletal co-morbidities in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of transthyretin-associated amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has grown because of newer non-invasive diagnosis tools. Detecting the presence of extra-cardiac ATTR manifestations such as musculoskeletal pathologies considered 'red flags', when there is minimal or non-cardiac clinical involvement is primordial to carry out an early diagnosis.
