Medical Conditions - Cardiac Amyloidosis

Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare but serious medical condition in which abnormal proteins build up in the heart, causing it to become stiff and unable to function properly. This can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs, and irregular heartbeats. Treatment options for cardiac amyloidosis depend on the underlying cause and may include medications to manage symptoms, chemotherapy to target the abnormal proteins, and in some cases, a heart transplant.
