AI Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses two difficult cases of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis that were initially misdiagnosed as cardiac amyloidosis due to light chain issues linked to active myeloma.
- - An endomyocardial biopsy combined with mass spectrometry was crucial for accurately diagnosing the condition.
- - The correct diagnosis was important for guiding the appropriate treatment for these patients.
Article Abstract
We describe 2 challenging cases of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis initially treated as cardiac amyloidosis light chain in the setting of active myeloma. Endomyocardial biopsy with mass spectrometry was essential to confirm the appropriate diagnosis to direct the treatment.
