Diagnosis and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis: a position statement of the ESC Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases

Pablo Garcia-Pavia et al.

Summary: Cardiac amyloidosis is a serious infiltrative disease caused by the deposition of amyloid fibrils in the heart, which can be due to genetic variants or acquired conditions. With advances in imaging techniques, non-invasive diagnosis is now possible, showing that cardiac amyloidosis is more common than previously thought. The Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Disease has proposed definitions and diagnostic algorithms for cardiac amyloidosis.

Diagnosis and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis: a position statement of the ESC Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases

Pablo Garcia-Pavia et al.

Summary: Cardiac amyloidosis is a serious and progressive infiltrative disease caused by amyloid fibril deposition in the heart. Advances in imaging techniques and diagnostic algorithms have made it possible to diagnose the condition non-invasively. Monitoring and treating cardiac amyloidosis are important in bridging the gap between research advances and clinical practice.
