Nashville, Tenn. (TN Tribune) The National Newspaper Publishers Association is working with Pfizer and the Voices for the Heart program to help raise awareness of a serious and often overlooked cause of heart failure among Black/African Americans and Afro-
Caribbeans called hereditary transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
Through our series of local informational events, Voices for the Heart aims to educate
communities about the signs and symptoms of hereditary ATTR-CM and provide
information that encourages community members who have heart failure and
symptoms of hereditary ATTR-CM to talk to their doctor.
A Voices for the Heart virtual event will be held in Nashville on Saturday,
March 26th hosted by Pastor Cornelius Hill of the Second Missionary Baptist
Cooperative Ministries and featuring cardiologist Dr. Don Rowe and ATTR-CM patient and former NBA player, Don Chaney.
Chaney and Dr. Don O. Rowe will be featured speakers at virtual town hall on March
26, 2022. Chaney will share his personal story of being diagnosed and living with hereditary ATTR-CM. Dr. Rowe will share more information about hereditary ATTR-CM symptoms and diagnosis.
