We examined endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in 15 familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR) Valine30Methionine (Val30Met) patients and 12 healthy volunteers. Using ultrasonography, we measured the radial artery diameters under both baseline and hyperemic condi

In patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), heart complications are prognostic factors for mortality and morbidity after liver transplantation (LT). However, only a few studies have analyzed the development of arrhythmia in transplant patients with FAP. We investigated the developmen
Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy is an inherited form of amyloidosis associated with a mutant form of a protein called transthyretin. The Methionine-30 variant is the most frequent mutation observed. This disorder is caused by deposition of this protein as amyloid in several organs, such as the h
