Overview
Cardiac amyloidosis can be classified based on the type of amyloid that infiltrates the heart. The types of amyloid that commonly deposit in the heart are immunoglobulin light chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR). These two types of amyloid can result in cardiac AL amyloidosis and cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis.
Classification
- Cardiac amyloidosis can be classified based on the type of amyloid that infiltrates the heart.[1][2]
- The types of amyloid that commonly deposit in the heart are immunoglobulin light chain (AL) transthyretin (ATTR).
- Based on the above mentioned information, we can classify cardiac amyloidosis into:
- Cardiac AL amyloidosis
- Cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis
