Article Synopsis
  • Cardiac involvement is crucial in determining the prognosis for systemic amyloidosis patients, with a study analyzing 98 patients focusing on which amyloid types impact the heart most significantly.
  • The study categorized patients into two groups: those diagnosed via endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs) and those diagnosed post-mortem through autopsy, revealing varying types of amyloidosis in each group.
  • Findings indicated a notable underdiagnosis of ATTR amyloidosis, particularly in elderly patients, and highlighted that AL kappa amyloidosis leads to more severe amyloid deposits and worse outcomes.

Amyloidosis is one of the rare systemic illnesses characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils in various organs and tissues. There is a common point between COVID-19 and systemic amyloidosis regarding the multiorgan involvement in the pathological process which leads to a heightened risk for severe morbidity and mortality in amyloidosis patients who contracted COVID-19. We performed a pathomorphological analysis of the autopsy records of 22 patients who had COVID-19 and pre-existing systemic amyloidosis.
