Cardiac Amyloidosis Program
What is Cardiac Amyloidosis?
Amyloidosis is a condition where amyloid proteins (dysfunctional proteins that stick together) build up in tissues and organs, such as the kidneys, spine, GI tract and nerves. When they build up in the heart wall, called cardiac amyloidosis, it makes it harder for the heart to function correctly, leading to heart failure. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to managing this condition effectively.
There are different types of cardiac amyloidosis, including AL amyloidosis and ATTR amyloidosis.
