Professor Aisling Ryan highlights the importance of early recognition and testing for hATTR amyloidosis. Primary care can initiate free genetic testing and basic blood and cardiac assessments while awaiting specialist review. Patients are then referred to specialised amyloidosis centers, including Cork, Tallaght, and Mater hospitals for comprehensive neurological and cardiac evaluations.

Early referral ensures timely access to appropriate treatment and multidisciplinary care, aiming to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
