What form of amyloidosis do you have if you're taking Attruby?

It's great to hear you're doing well on Attruby! Since you're taking this medication, you have ATTR-CM (transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy). Attruby (acoramidis) is specifically approved to treat this form of amyloidosis, which affects the heart.

ATTR-CM can be either:
- Wild-type ATTR (not inherited)
- Hereditary ATTR or hATTR (passed down through families due to a gene mutation)

Your doctor should clarify which type you have, as this matters for your family and long-term care planning. If you have the hereditary form, your family members might benefit from genetic testing.

It's completely reasonable to ask your doctor directly: "Which type of ATTR-CM do I have - wild-type or hereditary?" You might also ask if genetic testing was done to determine this.

Many MyAmyloidosisTeam members have found it helpful to keep a list of questions for their appointments, especially about their specific diagnosis and what it means for their care.
