Overview
The most common symptoms observed in patients with amyloidosis include: fatigue, weight loss, and periorbital purpura.[1]
Symptoms
- Cardiac amyloid deposition can cause symptoms suggestive of:
- congestive heart failure such as fatigue, dyspnea, orthopnea[1], peripheral edema, ascites and/or
- arrhythmias such as palpitations
- Postural hypotension may be observed in patients with subendothelial amyloid deposition.[2]
