Overview
Amyloidosis is a multi-system disease involving many organs simultaneously. Approximately more than 50% of the patients with amyloidosis present with right heart failure symptoms. The most common symptoms observed in patients with cardiac amyloidosis include fatigue, weight loss, and periorbital purpura.[1]
Symptoms
Cardiac amyloid deposition can cause symptoms suggestive of:[2]
- Congestive heart failure such as
- Arrhythmias such as palpitations
- Postural hypotension may be observed in patients with subendothelial amyloid deposition.[3]
