Arrhythmias and Device Therapies in Cardiac Amyloidosis
2024-01-17
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac amyloidosis is caused by amyloid fibrils that deposit in the myocardial interstitium, causing restrictive cardiomyopathy and eventually death. The electromechanical, inflammatory, and autonomic changes due to amyloid deposition result in arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation is by far the most common arrhythmia. Rate control strategy is generally poorly tolerated due to restrictive filling physiology and heart...
