I have wild Amy. Do I need to do invasive heart tissue biopsy?

Thanks Joel
I got my Vyndamax 2 days ago. It took a total of 4 weeks. Insurance company wanted invasive heart biopsy but my doctor convinced them to take results from PVP nuclear scan. Heart biopsy is risky and not necessary.

Dear Ed
I too have ATTRwt and Medicare approved in a few days. Renewals required Prior Authorization. You add your cardiologist need too keep pressuring the insurance companies.
Good Luck and dinner give up.

I also have Amy wild and Mayo Clinic in Rochester said the heart biopsy wasn’t necessary after the other test they ran.
