Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Age
- In the United States, 1.3 million gene carries have been reported with an approximate 150,000 over the age of 60 years.
- Cardiac amyloidosis commonly presents in adults more than 40 years old. Senile type of cardiac amyloidosis presents after 60 years of age, most commonly after 70 years of age.
- Various mutations of proteins involved in amyloid deposition may present anytime between 30 to 70 years of age.
Ethnicity
- 3-4% of African-Americans carry the most common mutation that causes the substitution of Ile for Val at position [1] and is known to contribute to the incidence of familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy[2]
- After the age of 60, isolated cardiac amyloidosis is four times more common among blacks than whites in the United States[3].
