BackgroundGastrointestinal complications are common in hereditary transthyretin (ATTRm) amyloidosis. Although we previously reported that electrogastrogram (EGG) data might be useful markers to know the levels of gastric myoelectrical activities in patients with ATTRm amyloidosis even in early stage [Citation 1], we have not been present the data of electrointestinogram (EIG) in these patients because of technical limitations. However, we newly established a cutaneous EIG recording method. In this study, we evaluated the myoelectrical activities of descending colon in ATTRm amyloidosis using cutaneous EIG, and assessed its potential as an evaluating marker for the early detection of gastrointestinal dysfunction in these patients.
