Featured Patient Story

 Jaime Kaplan

My older sister, Barbara Kaplan, started having shortness of breath in October of 2019. She went to her internist in Miami, Florida, and a chest x-ray which showed fluid in her lungs. Her internist immediately referred her to a cardiologist who suspected amyloidosis. She was diagnosed a few days later and was started on Vyndamax shortly after. Her 3 siblings were advised to get tested for the gene. Our two brothers were quickly tested and both were deemed negative. Our mother was tested and is negative as well. Our dad is deceased.
