Prevalence, risk factors and correlation with cardiac involvement of carpal tunnel syndrome in amyloidosis

چکیده
Background Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common clinical manifestations of TTR-related amyloidosis, both hereditary (ATTR), and wild type (senile systemic amyloidosis, SSA) and often precedes cardiac symptoms. The exact prevalence of CTS in light-chain amyloidosis (AL), ATTR and SSA is not known. We therefore aimed to establish prevalence, risk factors and possible association with cardiac involvement in patients with TTRrelated and AL amyloidosis.
