In honor of #AmyloidosisAwarenessMonth, we are honored to spotlight the stories of patients diagnosed with amyloidosis and share the ways they spread awareness in their own lives. Charles spent decades treating his own patients as a cardiologist, and after going through diagnosis firsthand as a patient, he recognized the knowledge gap around amyloidosis in the medical community.  Using his lifelong role in the medical field, Charles now educates other healthcare professionals on the signs, symptoms and background of amyloidosis, with hopes that increasing awareness will allow future patients to be diagnosed and treated earlier. How do you #IllimunateATTR?

Meet Mateo, a 12-year-old boy from Madrid living with #hypochondroplasia, a rare genetic condition that affects bone growth.  Whether playing soccer with friends or enjoying time with family, Mateo embraces life with confidence, knowing he can do the same things as anyone else.  Hear from Mateo, his parents, and his sister as they share their journey—his diagnosis at two years old, the strength and support they’ve found in community, and their commitment to raising awareness. 

We are excited to share the documentary, “Growing up with LGMD”, featuring Sophie, Brooklyn, and Sammy. These inspiring young women live with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMDs), a group of rare genetic disorders that cause progressive muscle degeneration and damage, and eventual loss of functional independence.  There are over 30 subtypes of LGMDs, each with their own set of symptoms, management considerations, age of onset, organ impact, and disease progression. Genetic testing to identify your specific subtype is crucial for proper management and care.  We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sophie, Brooklyn, and Sammy for their bravery in sharing their personal stories and raising awareness about the daily challenges they face with this ultra-rare condition. Their voices are crucial in increasing understanding and fostering support for the LGMD community.  A special thanks to CureLGMD2i Foundation for collaborating on this important project and supporting the cause.

We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the friends, family, and colleagues of Clinical Professor Dr. Jignesh Patel, who recently passed away. His remarkable contributions to the field of cardiology have left an indelible mark on medical research and patient care. Dr. Patel was a true trailblazer, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of healthcare professionals. Our thoughts are with all who were touched by his work and his life.

In our latest #OnRarePodcast episode, Kady shares the emotional journey of raising her 4-year-old son, Julien, who is living with a unique case of autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1). Managing his condition has been a daily balancing act, as Julien’s specific mutation is so rare that he is the only known case in the world.

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I/R9 (LGMD 2I/R9) is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness around the hips and shoulders. However, LGMD 2I/R9 can also impact the heart. This is one reason why getting genetic confirmation of your LGMD subtype is important.  Some individuals with LGMD 2I/R9 may develop cardiomyopathy, weakening of the heart muscles and conduction abnormalities (irregular heartbeats). Obtaining confirmation of your subtype will allow physicians to monitor your heart and provide optimal care.  💙 Knowledge is power—stay proactive about your heart health. #LGMD #GeneticTesting #CardiacHealth #MuscularDystrophy #DiseaseAwareness
