...The clinical presentation of wtATTR-CM is dominated by cardiac symptoms, and symptomatic neuropathy was reported in up to 12% of cases with limited description of associated neuropathy [2]....

...Interestingly, our study also demonstrates multisystemic symptoms and signs in wtATTR-CM, and each of our patients had at least 2 “red flag” signs of systemic amyloidosis in addition to neuropathy as previously described with hereditary ATTR amyloidosis [5]....

...Most of the patients in our series had mild neuropathy, and none had severe neuropathic pain or progressive weakness, contrasting the rapid progression of hereditary ATTR amyloidosis where many patients develop severe disability within 5 years from onset [3]....

...Neuropathy in patients with impaired glucose tolerance has been attributed to metabolic syndrome, and only one of our patients fulfilled the criteria for metabolic syndrome suggesting that impaired glucose tolerance was probably not the cause of neuropathy in most of our patients [4]....
