Amyloidosis of the Heart

Amyloidosis is a progressive, chronic disease that is associated with the accumulation of abnormal proteins in tissues and organs. One of the most common types of amyloid disease is cardiac amyloidosis, which affects about 5-10% of people with the disease.

Amyloidosis is characterized by the fact that the heart muscle becomes dense and stiff, preventing normal blood flow. This can lead to serious complications such as coronary heart disease. The problem is that among patients suffering from cardiac amlodiasis, there are not many who are able to have normal myocardial function. As the disease progresses further, the heart wall thickens, which can ultimately lead to rupture.

Amyloidosis is a systemic disease characterized by the deposition in tissues and organs of insoluble abnormal protein, mainly globulin or its derivatives. Among the secondary amyloids, senile amyloidosis and amyloidosis in chronic heart failure can be distinguished, which explains the variety of clinical manifestations.
