Abstract

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a devastating disorder due to deposition of amyloid protein fibrils (light chains in AL or transthyretin in ATTR) in extracellular tissue. Untreated, CA has a life expectancy of approximately 4 years. Disease modifying treatments are now available; however, they are based on the underlying subtype. Despite improved non-invasive diagnostic tools, mass spectrometry (MS) of endomyocardial tissue is essential for cases with a mixed sub-type.
