ObjectivesTo identify unique echocardiographic signatures associated with TTR+ carrier status preceding onset of cardiac amyloidosis. BackgroundCarrier status for the most common pathogenic TTR variant in the United States, Val142Ile (V142I), found in 4% of African Americans (AA) and 1% of Hispanic/Latino (H/L) individuals, confers a 40-60% lifetime risk of developing variant transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv), including cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and heart failure (HF). Myocardial amyloid deposit...
