Tips if you’re newly diagnosed with ATTR-CM:

  • Understand that ATTR-CM is a rare, life-threatening, progressive heart condition, which means it will get worse over time
  • Discuss treatment options with your doctor as soon as your diagnosis is confirmed. The sooner you start treatment, the sooner you can begin to slow disease progression
  • It can be helpful to connect with other people diagnosed with ATTR-CM

ATTR-CM progresses over time, so starting treatment early is key. Find out how VYNDAMAX can help
