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
- Fatigue
- Dyspnea
- Dizziness
- Orthopnea[1]
- Peripheral edema
- Weight loss due to cardiac cachexia
- Ascites
- Arrhythmias such as palpitations
- Syncope and presyncope
- Postural hypotension may be observed in patients with subendothelial amyloid deposition.[3]
- Chest pain or chest discomfort [4][5]
- Non-specific symptoms like:
