From diagnosis to care, ATTR amyloidosisdiagnosiscareATTR amyloidosis

From diagnosis to care is a two-part Radcliffe documentary on ATTR cardiac amyloidosis. Across ten chapters, cardiologists, a pathologist and patients describe how the disease is missed, what it does to the heart, and what happens once it is diagnosed.

ATTR cardiac amyloidosis is not rare. It is missed. Patients often wait years between their first symptoms and a diagnosis, and each of those years is a year of progression. We made this film to put the people who recognise it every day in front of the clinicians most likely to meet it next.

Cardiologists, heart failure and cardiac imaging teams, and the physicians who often see the early signs first, in internal medicine, orthopaedics and primary care. The film is made for healthcare professionals.
