Overview
This presentation addresses the pharmacological management of cardiac amyloidosis, highlighting treatments for both transthyretin (ATTR) and light-chain (AL) types. We will review targeted therapies such as TTR stabilizers and silencers for ATTR, and chemotherapy options for AL, discussing their mechanisms and clinical outcomes. Additionally, the session will cover essential symptom management strategies, including the use of diuretics and beta-blockers to alleviate heart failure symptoms common in amyloidosis patients. The presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current and emerging treatments, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to enhancing patient care and outcomes in cardiac amyloidosis. This session is designed for Health Care professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of these complex therapeutic strategies and their practical applications in clinical settings.
