AI Article Synopsis
- Cardiac amyloidosis is a serious heart condition that leads to poor outcomes and can occur alongside aortic valve stenosis.
- Recent studies indicate that having both conditions may heighten the risk of complications and death during surgery.
- This review assesses existing research on non-transplant surgeries for patients with cardiac amyloidosis, highlighting the need for more studies on diagnosis, surgical risks, and unresolved issues.
Article Abstract
Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare infiltrative cardiomyopathy that portends a poor prognosis. There is a growing recognition of co-existent aortic valve stenosis and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, with some studies suggesting that dual pathology may be associated increased risk of complication and mortality during surgical intervention. This review aims to evaluate the available literature on non-transplant cardiac surgical interventions in patients with cardiac amyloidosis, with particular focus on diagnosis, high surgical risk and areas of uncertainty that require further research.
