Overview
Amyloidosis is a multi-system disease involving many organs simultaneously. Approximately 50% of the patients with cardiac amyloidosis present with right heart failure symptoms. The most common symptoms observed in patients with cardiac amyloidosis include fatigue, weight loss, and periorbital purpura.
History and Symptoms
History
- Patients with cardiac amyloidosis present with signs and symptoms of heart failure.
Symptoms
Cardiac amyloidosis can be associated with the following symptoms:[1]
- Congestive heart failure with associated symptoms such as
- Arrhythmias with associated symptoms such as palpitations
- Syncope and presyncope
- Syncope on exertion is an ominous sign of cardiac amyloidosis, as these patients cannot augment their cardiac output due to poor filling of the ventricle (restrictive cardiomyopathy).[3]
- Postural hypotension may be observed in patients with subendothelial amyloid deposition.[4]
- Chest pain or chest discomfort [5][6]
- Non-specific symptoms like:
