Background: Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease of severe heart failure caused by the accumulation of amyloid in the myocardium. This disease is often advanced by the time cardiac symptoms appear; therefore, early detection and treatment are critical ...

Cardiac Amyloidosis: Clinical Features, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment [PDF]
Cardiac amyloidosis is a type of amyloidosis that deserves special attention as organ involvement significantly worsens the prognosis. Cardiac amyloidosis can be grouped under three main headings: immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis that is ...

Ventricular Arrhythmias in Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Review of Current Literature
Cardiac Amyloidosis is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy which occurs secondary to deposition of mis-folded protein in the myocardium, with the two most common subtypes being AL amyloidosis and TTR amyloidosis.

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Abstract Aims Amyloid cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of light chain (AL) or transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) fibrils, that leads to a restrictive cardiomyopathy, often resulting in heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.

Brain embolic infarction associated with cardiac amyloidosis in a patient with multiple myeloma: a bone marrow-heart-brain crosstalk [PDF]
Cardiac amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular fibril deposition of amyloid protein in the myocardium. Cerebral embolism caused by cardiac amyloidosis is rare.

Arrhythmias in Cardiac Amyloidosis [PDF]
Arrhythmias are common in cardiac amyloidosis and vary based on the amyloidosis type. Conduction defects and atrial arrhythmias are more prevalent in transthyretin amyloidosis compared with light chain amyloidosis, and this difference might be a reflection of the longer survival time in the former.

Background: AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma result in extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrillary protein in tissue and organs. Untreated median survival is very poor, and even worse with cardiac involvement.

A Case of Systemic Amyloidosis Diagnosed After Excision of a Cutaneous Tumour of the Buttocks
ABSTRACT A 72‐year‐old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with two tumours on the buttocks. Two solitary, 2.5 × 1.5 cm‐sized, dark brown, well‐demarcated elevated plaques were observed, one on each side of the gluteal cleft, and dermoscopic examination showed comedo‐like openings, multiple milia‐like cysts, and a cerebriform pattern with ...
