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]
