LOUISIANA WEEKLY — In the latest town hall in the series, Dr. Russell Ledet of Docs on Da Block discussed ATTR-CM on December 15. Ledet said ATTR-CM is often undiagnosed and misdiagnosed. The symptoms of the disease are often mistaken for other issues. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome can be a symptom of ATTR-CM. ATTR-CM is also not a rapid onset disease. The symptoms slowly appear and build over time.
