- Amyloidosis is a disorder where abnormal protein deposits damage organs, with cardiac amyloidosis specifically affecting the heart and leading to stiffening of the heart walls.

- New research emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis to utilize advanced therapies, including gene therapies, to improve patient outcomes and manage the progression of the disease.
