Cardiac Amyloidosis – An Underdiagnosed Cause of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction – Updated Diagnosis and Treatment Options
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) still represents a frequently missed cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In the light of many new and effective therapies for immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) and for transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), screening for amyloidosis as an im...
