Article Synopsis
- Amyloidosis is a systemic disease caused by the buildup of low molecular weight proteins in the body's tissues, adversely affecting various organs, particularly the heart.
- Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is linked to poor outcomes, with the majority being light chain amyloidosis (AL-CA) and transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), which can further be classified into wild type (ATTRwt) and hereditary (ATTRh-CA).
- Early diagnosis of CA, especially regarding atrial involvement, is crucial for effective treatment, as new diagnostic techniques like advanced echocardiography and cardiac MRI can improve patient prognosis and survival rates significantly.
