Cardiac amyloid deposition, causing an infiltrative/restrictive cardiomyopathy, is a frequent feature of amyloidosis and a major determinant of survival. It may be the presenting feature of the disease or may be identified while investigating a patient presenting with other organ involvement. The need ...
Amyloidosis is a systemic infiltrative disease characterized by the extracellular deposition of insoluble proteins. The most prevalent variant is amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis, affecting more than ten people per million per year. The protein fibers in the amyloid light chain consist of monoclonal...
