A large proportion of Romanian cardiologists are aware of the existence of Tafamidis as a specific therapy for ATTR associated CA, but less than one third consider it an option for mixed phenotype forms of AL amyloidosis, which is in agreement with the limited clinical data available. Improving knowledge of this therapeutic option is important in Romania, where a number of patients with genetic diseases present with both LV hypertrophy and sensory-motor neuropathy. It could also facilitate early recognition of this form of the disease and improve outcomes. We would like to thank the cardiologist community for their participation in this study.
