Cardiac amyloidosis is a disease characterised by the accumulation of amyloid protein in the heart tissue. There are several types of amyloidosis, but the most common types affecting the heart are ATTR amyloidosis (caused by transthyretin protein) and ...

Cardiac involvement can be found in all types of amyloidosis, but is most frequent in AL amyloidosis. Severity of cardiac infiltration is by far the most relevant prognostic determinant. Once the heart is affected, amyloidosis carries a poor prognosis.

Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Narrative Review of Diagnostic Advances and Emerging Therapies [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an underdiagnosed and potentially life-threatening infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded amyloid fibrils in cardiac tissue. It is most commonly associated

Systemic amyloidosis comprises an uncommon group of disorders caused by the extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins in various organs. Cardiac amyloid deposition, causing an infiltrative/restrictive cardiomyopathy, is a frequent feature of amyloidosis and a major determinant of survival.

Amyloidosis represents a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by amyloid fibril deposition in the extracellular space in different organs. Among the many types of amyloidosis cardiac involvement occurs almost exclusively with immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) or transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis). When present cardiac

Amyloid deposits are defined by their tinctorial properties. Under the light microscope amyloid deposits are eosinophilic and amorphous when stained with hematoxylin and eosin. With Congo red staining the deposits are positive and under polarized light will exhibit green birefringence.
