Outcomes of heart transplantation in cardiac amyloidosis: an updated systematic review.

Cardiac amyloidosis is one of the most common infiltrative cardiomyopathies that is characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded fibrillar protein. Several studies have previously found that patients with amyloid in the past have performed poorly after heart transplantation. Recent advancements in treatments have been made that have significantly improved outcomes in these patients.
