The study looked at people with a heart disease called wild‑type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‑CM) who were diagnosed before age 65. It found that early‑diagnosed patients make up a small slice of all cases, tend to have more joint and bone problems, and are diagnosed much faster than older patients. Their survival after diagnosis is better than those diagnosed later.
