Overview

Physical examination of patients with wild-type (senile) amyloidosis can be significant for the condition in question and can also translate the variety of pathologies as a part of aging and age-related comorbidities.

Physical examination of patients with wild-type (senile) amyloidosis can be significant for the condition in question and can also translate the variety of pathologies as a part of aging and age-related comorbidities.
