Amyloidosis involves amyloid fibril deposition in multiple organs, often affecting the heart and leading to severe complications. Treatment varies by type, including stem cell or liver transplantation for specific forms.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Hematology
  • Nephrology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Amyloidoses are multisystem disorders characterized by extracellular amyloid fibril deposition.
  • Cardiac involvement is common and a leading cause of mortality in amyloidosis patients.
  • Symptoms include edema, dyspnea, chest pain, and autonomic dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of amyloidosis, focusing on cardiac involvement.
  • To discuss the common types of amyloidosis, including AL and ATTR.
  • To outline current and potential treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of amyloidosis, cardiac manifestations, and treatment options.
  • Discussion of diagnostic criteria and therapeutic approaches for different amyloidosis subtypes.

  • Synthesis of information on AL amyloidosis, ATTR amyloidosis, and other forms.

    • Main Results:

    • AL amyloidosis, linked to monoclonal gammopathy, is the most common form, treatable with melphalan and stem cell transplantation.
    • ATTR amyloidosis, an autosomal dominant disorder, is curable with liver transplantation.
    • Cardiac amyloidosis management follows heart failure guidelines, with other types including senile systemic and secondary amyloidosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Amyloidosis is a serious condition with significant cardiac implications.
    • Treatment selection is crucial, especially for high-mortality procedures like stem cell transplantation.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches are essential for managing this complex group of diseases.
