About this listen

This week, Dr. Joel Kahn shares the case of a patient at the Kahn Center diagnosed with ATTR cardiomyopathy, a serious disorder in which a protein (amyloid) infiltrates the heart and can be fatal. It is often associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy, and spinal stenosis. Fortunately, exciting new therapies are now available.

Other topics in this episode include the latest cholesterol guidelines, niacin and mood, Galleri cancer screening, “inflammaging” in native cultures, beta-blockers after heart attack, menopause and aging, and inflammation in women.
