Abstract
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) encompasses a group of disorders characterized by an abnormal accumulation of amyloid fibrils in the heart, leading to impaired cardiac function and ultimately heart failure. While the incidence of immunoglobulin light chains amyloidosis incidence seems stable at 8 to 15.2 cases per million persons (PMP)/year, the incidence and prevalence of wild type transthyretin-CA are steadily increasing, being currently estimated at 14 to 27 cases PMP/year and 30 to 170 cases PMP, respectively. This review explores the dynamic landscape of CA epidemiology and its implications for screening and management strategies.
期刊介绍:
Heart failure is quickly becoming the most pressing health problem in the United States. Heart Failure Clinics provides practical, concise and easy-to-read coverage that encompasses everything you need to know about the current literature. Topics include acute decompensated heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, ventricular dysfunction, comorbidities of heart failure, diastolic dysfunction, genetic evaluation, ischemic heart disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and surgery/transplantation.
