Cardiac amyloidosis: Epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is a disorder caused by amyloid fibril deposition in the extracellular space of the heart. It can present with cardiac signs or symptoms or may be diagnosed as the result of screening in patients who manifest extracardiac signs of amyloidosis. The approach to diagnosis depends upon the clinical presentation and the results of initial testing.
