Cardiac Amyloidosis: Insights into Diagnosis and Management

Abstract

Theo Xavier*

Cardiac amyloidosis, once considered a rare disease, is increasingly recognized as a critical yet underdiagnosed cause of heart failure. This condition arises from the deposition of amyloid fibrils, which are misfolded protein aggregates, in the cardiac tissue. The deposits interfere with the normal function of the heart, leading to progressive heart failure and other severe cardiovascular complications.
