Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is increasingly recognized as a cause of heart failure in the elderly. Although wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis is the most frequent form of ATTR‐CM found in the elderly, hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) can also occur. We sought to determine the prevalence of ATTRv among elderly ATTR‐CM patients, identify predictors of ATTRv and evaluate the clinical consequences of positive genetic testing in this population.
