On the KMOJ Morning Show, Dr. Barbara Hutchinson joins Chantel Sings to discuss ATTR-cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM), a serious and progressive heart condition that is frequently misdiagnosed because its symptoms often resemble normal aging or other forms of heart failure. She explains why common warning signs—including shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs or feet, irregular heartbeat, and even conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome—should not be ignored, particularly since one in 25 Black Americans carries a genetic variant associated with hereditary ATTR-CM. Dr. Hutchinson also highlights new survey findings showing that 95% of Black women surveyed had never been screened for the condition, underscoring the need for greater awareness and earlier diagnosis. The conversation encourages listeners to have informed discussions with their health care providers about persistent symptoms and the importance of early evaluation and appropriate care.
