Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t pump blood as well as it should. Many medical conditions that damage the heart muscle can cause heart failure, such as Coronary artery disease, Heart attack, Obesity, Kidney disease, Diabetes, and Cardiomyopathy. Here we summarize how cardiac amyloidosis is associated with heart failure.

Cardiomyopathy & Amyloidosis

April 28, 2022

It can lead to heart failure and even death. In this article, we’ll discuss the types of cardiomyopathy and its connection to amyloidosis.
