This World Amyloidosis Day, we're raising awareness for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) — a serious and often overlooked cause of heart failure.

ATTR-CM happens when a protein in your blood folds incorrectly, causing amyloid deposits to build up —most commonly in your heart, causing the heart muscle to thicken and stiffen. The heart then becomes unable to pump blood effectively.

Many patients with ATTR-CM go undiagnosed for years due to little awareness about the disease.

You can learn more about ATTR-CM and explore resources for patients and caregivers here: https://mendedhearts.org/transthyretin-amyloid-cardiomyopathy-attr-cm/

Did you know that September is AFib Awareness Month❓
Atrial Fibrillation (or AFib) occurs when the upper chambers of your heart beat out of coordination with the lower chambers🫀

AFib is easy to treat, but when left unmanaged, AFib can increase your risk of:
🩸Blood Clots
🧠Stroke
❤️‍🩹Heart Attack

Eating a heart healthy diet, staying physically active, and limiting your use of alcohol and stimulants can all lower your chances of developing AFib💪
