The investigators will nationally investigate the prevalence of Transthyretin Amyloidosis wildtype (ATTRwt) in patients of ≥ 65 years with left ventricular hypertrophy who present with high degree atrioventricular block (AV-block) and are admitted for pacemaker implantation. The investigators aim to characterize the group of patients with positive screening of ATTR and compare the ATTRwt disease stage at time of diagnosis for patients identified with ATTR at screening with a control group of routinely clinically diagnosed ATTRwt patients.
