Cardiac Amyloidosis Management
The liver produces transthyretin tetramers, which dissociate into monomers and mis-fold, then aggregate into amyloid fibrils and deposit into cardiac tissue.
Cardiac amyloidosis leads to restrictive cardiomyopathy, presenting similarly to heart failure; however, there are several differences in treatment approaches.
