Carpal tunnel syndrome and spinal canal stenosis: harbingers of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy?
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and spinal canal stenosis can be frequently observed in the medical history of patients with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), both in the hereditary (mt-ATTR) and wild-type (wt-ATTR) form. The aim of this retrospective single-center analysis was to determine the prevale...

| Zusammenfassung: | Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and spinal canal stenosis can be frequently observed in the medical history of patients with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), both in the hereditary (mt-ATTR) and wild-type (wt-ATTR) form. The aim of this retrospective single-center analysis was to determine the prevalence of these findings, delay to diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis and the prognostic value in a large cohort of patients with wt-ATTR and mt-ATTR amyloidosis. |
